Why did the clients who wanted the Higginbotham portrait ask for two?

Michele,
The two Higginbotham portraits were separate clients. I notified the first, and they were okay with it. The original client in 1999 was the Historical Society of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia, and the second client, in 2003 was the Black law Student Association of the Law School of the University of Pennsylvania. A few who were associated with the first portrait were present and cheering at the second portrait's unveiling; including the Chief Judge, whom I am about to paint.
I will follow your advice. Thanks!
Garth
