Bravo, dear Alex!

Well for the architecture and exquisite urban design of a great canvas, you're the best! As others have said, this is a chromatic and spacial tour-de-force. You really captured the Venturi-Scott-Brown's to a real sense of their gentle and yet intensively creative nature.

I can say this because I "met" them at that last annual juried show opening at Woodmere (Art Museum, where they are engaged to design the new wing expansion). I saw them there in the crowd, and actually said hi, in passing. I "knew" them through your portrait in progress at the time. How's that! Then I immediately hunted you down at the opening so excited to tell you that your acclaimed subjects were in the house (Alex gets into all the good art shows)! Like any other celebrities, you can "know" them while they have no clue who you are.

Again, Bravo. You captured them perfectly, based on my momentary encounter.
