Know the Model

Finished another portrait yesterday. I still need to adjust a couple of shadows on it, but the likeness is definitely there. This one seemed easier to do and maybe that was because I know the model so well. I can't wait to post these portraits on my blog for you to see.

Kindest regards,

Discouragement/Encouragement

Have you noticed that I have not been posting very many blogs lately? Having the analytical mind that I do, I started trying to figure out why I seem to have a difficult time blogging. It was so much fun when I began and now it's almost drudgery. I think I have figured it out, though. I got some negative comments about my blog from some people that mean a lot to me. It was very discouraging. But you know what? I need to overcome discouragement like this. My art is important to me and it brings me joy. It is wonderful to be able to write about this gift, too.

I want to thank all of you who sent those wonderful comments in your emails about my recent awards. You really lift my spirits.

I have finished another portrait today. It may need a little adjustment here or there, but it is almost totally done. On to the next one!

Kindest regards,
Nancy Verschoor
