I love that comment: "What, are you crazy?"

I saw the one of President Clinton when it was underway in Nelson Shanks' studio. He had had a replica of the mantel built so he could paint it from life. I remember thinking how lifelike the colors were in the painting. I think he captured Clinton at his best.

Thanks for the link, Garth.
