Isn't it interesting that paintings (yours included) often have little hidden secrets that are of importance to the subject or the patrons. In Nelson Shanks' portrait of the brother of Princess Diana, he's holding a paper with notes about what he planned to say at her funeral.
Not that I'm at all in the same league as you or Nelson Shanks (not even on the same planet!) in my upcoming portrait of the Governor there will be 21 brass nail heads going up the side of the leather chair -- since he was the 21st Governor. The tour guides at the State Capitol love that sort of stuff, apparently.
