You're welcome, and as always, the thanks belongs to you, for sharing your talent with us.

Did you have your art show? My apologies for not recalling the time frame you stated.

    No not yet. Sometime next year. My plan is to take photos to use as my own references and then paint them. I feel like using someone else's photo as a reference is something I could show but if someone wanted to buy it I wouldn't want to do that.

    Ah I understand, and the subject may not appreciate it, either. Thanks for the update.

    Exactly. Unless they're a famous person who's already given away their likeness to the public. Which the models I use don't fit.

    It's less pressure to get every feature right and I can just enjoy the experience.

    The few times I've done famous people it takes a lot of time to get all the details right like the thickness of the eye lids or the depth of the oral commissures (the dents at the outside edge of lips) ect. And while I like the final results it's a lot more time and effort and these I'm just painting too relax and chill.
