I gotta say being a certified art teacher is better than me, I am a certified nothing! Good work. You should get a studio at Fountain Street, they need some more life in that building. This portrait, along with most of the rest of them, is 2 feet square.

I'm dying to get down there! Thank GOD I'm done with 10 years almost of college..ARGH!! Being "certified" to be an art teacher is cool, but the arena for it is debatable to me (sorry state of MA…lol) but "any-hoooo"! I'm a pumped up artist along with, and outside of, that hoo-ha political school-system crazy-ness. I'll probably get a studio on Fountain St., Framingham to start with:) What is the scale of those portraits?

Thanks, I spend a lot more brain power than I would care to admit trying to come up with interesting flesh tones without falling back onto the standard earthy flesh tone pallet. Of course I am an a fan of Lucian Freud, it is hard to be a figurative painter these days without spending a lot of time thinking about his paintings. You should come by the studio one day and hang out, or else come by during open studios or something.

Kyle already finished vandalizing you, I just have not gotten back to finish that painting yet. Its sad that real life and paying work sometimes have to get in the way of making paintings.
