Ranch Hand Portrait

This is another practice portrait for the Jeffrey Watts workshop I will be attending.  As the date gets closer I get more and more worried about it.  This is how it usually goes.......At first, I'm ecstatic that I will be in the company and learning from a great artist whom I admire immensely.  Then the self doubt.....Should I  have signed up for the workshop, maybe I'm not good enough, will I make a foul of myself,  maybe I'll get lost, or the rental car will break down..  Then the day comes and I'm over the moon with excitement again. 

I've learned to ride the roller coaster of emotions.  I'm in the self doubt mode at the moment but know from experience that this will pass and give way to an amazing learning experience.
