#artoftheportrait2017

On our way home from the @the_portrait_society Art of the Portrait conference. We didecided to sport some Van Gogh Starry Night socks (thanks to the @highmuseumofart!) to say farewell! See you in a few years Atlanta! #artoftheportrait2017 (at Grand Hyatt Atlanta in Buckhead)

While enjoying the wonderful Mary Whyte's demo yesterday, I ninja-ed a little drawing of her model. She has given me a whole new appreciation for watercolor. #artoftheportrait2017 #marywhyte #rodneythompsonart

The peak of my career as an artist. To be able to shake hands with a person I admire and respect so deeply is a moment that will never leave my memory. Thank you @richardschmid and @nancyguzik for your generosity in sharing your knowledge and love for fine art. #artoftheportrait2017 #richardschmid #rodneythompsonart (at Grand Hyatt Atlanta in Buckhead)

Not the best photo by any means but it sold! My contribution to 6x9in mystery sale at this years @the_portrait_society Art of the Portrait conference. #rodneythompsonart #artoftheportrait2017 #allaprima #portraiture #fineart #figurepainting (at Grand Hyatt Atlanta in Buckhead)

Just got a wonderful and constructive critique of one of my paintings from Daniel E. Green! Thought I might barf from nerves and excitement. 😃🤢😃#artoftheportrait2017 #danielegreene #soooooocool

Face off! One of my most favorite parts of the Portrait Society convention. There is so much talent to witness in action. #artoftheportrait2017 #caseychilds #sadiejerniganvaleri #michelledunaway
