...the more I look at that first painting of yours, the more I like it. You really have a talent.

Back in the ‘80s as a college student I painted several landscapes for some art courses I took. My inspiration has always been the Hudson River School of painters. Although I love the great portrait painters such as Rembrandt and Velasquez, I’ve never attempted a portrait. Whole different ball game IMO. Much harder to do a realistic human face than a landscape, no matter how finely detailed it is.
