It is almost like you feed off of each others energy - it really seems to infuse your own work with new life - and the comraderie is wonderful. But I do like to paint all alone too - much more contemplative. When you are all alone, you can touch such deep cords within.&lt;br /&gt;  Now let's go paint!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17012811/7060949427122547/comments/default/2628394710664446931'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17012811/7060949427122547/comments/default/2628394710664446931'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brushwork.blogspot.com/2009/05/open-figureportrait-painting-group_03.html?showComment=1241692980000#c2628394710664446931' title=''/><author><name>Mary Bullock</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09718356993209078250</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://brushwork.blogspot.com/2009/05/open-figureportrait-painting-group_03.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17012811.post-7060949427122547' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17012811/posts/default/7060949427122547' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17012811.post-5626054767611881768</id><published>2009-05-06T06:28:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-06T06:28:00.000-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Hi Mary.

It turns out that she was an art major, so it was perfect!  Some of the other models are from various "Open" drawing groups that I have attended or friends.  My kids' friends are another great source for interesting models. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am glad to hear that you host a painting group, too.  Isn't it fun to paint with other artists?</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17012811/7060949427122547/comments/default/5626054767611881768'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17012811/7060949427122547/comments/default/5626054767611881768'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brushwork.blogspot.com/2009/05/open-figureportrait-painting-group_03.html?showComment=1241616480000#c5626054767611881768' title=''/><author><name>Karen Winslow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14849218272902381062</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='15355172005116406435'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://brushwork.blogspot.com/2009/05/open-figureportrait-painting-group_03.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17012811.post-7060949427122547' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17012811/posts/default/7060949427122547' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17012811.post-1182376084371730867</id><published>2009-05-04T16:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-04T16:58:00.000-07:00</updated><title type='text'>HI Karen:
