Dear Garth:
I saw this portrait last night after coming home from a 6 hour train trip, and despite the fatigue was absolutely riveted to the screen of my computer. Behind the calm exterior of that face exists a strength and inner peace I felt at every level (except a literary one, being too inept to correctly put it into words). You are one of the few artists who can paint below the surface.
I'm going back for another look now.
