The first full day of the conference began with morning opening ceremonies from Edward Jonas.  He had the sad news of asking for a moment of silence in remembrance of The Portrait Societies co founder Gorden Wetmore.

This was followed by a demo with Michelle Dunaway and Susan Lyon called, Two Points of View.  They were posed on either side of the same model.  It was fascinating to watch the two wheel their talents in such different ways as hundreds of us watched.

Tom Edgerton and hundreds more watch this great demonstration.

I really love my job.  It’s so great to be with artists.   They look at everything from a completely unique  perspective .
