The start with my beautiful model Toni Czechorosky
My demo this week at The California Art Institute

EAT: Eat up all the inspiration you can. Alice Neel comes to mind, my own personal portrait heroine.

PAINT: Paint like it was your last day on the planet. Paint like you don't have a care in the world. NO worries about sales, competition success, other people's opinions.

LOVE: Love the art process. Love what you create. If you don't no-one will. Share that love toward others and their creations.
