Because of the barking, we couldn't hear John's soft voice.

I agree with Christian that you have captured something special, perhaps the "John-Butlerness." While I think proportion and shading can be taught, appeal is something that is much more intangible. Have any words of wisdom on that aspect of good art?Tyler Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171434906811033069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-28999800561595497622009-08-20T16:47:58.626-04:002009-08-20T16:47:58.626-04:00The very best portraits catch the people's sou...The very best portraits catch the people's soul...
