Sometimes paintings just come together easily and sometimes I struggle.  This was one that flowed - I think in part because he's such a cutie and it's a great photo!  

It's the new year and I'm exhausted from the last month.  Lost my Aunt Robin who I am named after and have been struggling to get back on track with some direction.  She was an incredible woman and I was blessed to have her a close part of my life the last five years.  I miss her.

I am very excited about working with my Portrait Society mentor Natalie Italiano.  She's already taught me tons with one phone call and presented me with some challenges that I hope I can meet.   The more I learn about portrait painting (people) the more I realize I don't know.  

Here's to lots of learning in 2013!
