Here are some photos of the painting itself.

Michele,

Your amazing paintings and your gift for PRinspire me every day,itis a gorgeous portrait and kudos to you!!

Michele,

Wonderful work! I like the simple design very much.

Thanks, Chris and Alex. Wish I could take credit for the design... it was his wife's idea. It was nice to be part of the pomp and circumstance for a couple of days. Now it's back to paint stained t shirts and taking out the trash. Back to reality!

Congratulations, Michele on another successful portrait and all your success in general.

Thanks, folks! Not sure why the closeup changed to be so red on here. It did the same thing when I posted it on Facebook. I'm sure it's not the Forum, Cynthia. Must be something to do with that file.

Michelle,

Great work! I've read some good things about this fellow.

Stained t shirts, ha. I'll bet there's some dignitary on the inside of that t shirt.

Keep up the good work.

Mike

Thanks, Mike. Gary Locke is a good guy -- I think he's the perfect person to be in that job as Ambassador to China, actually.

Congratulations Michelle on another great portrait.

Thank you for sharing and inspiring us with your work.
