Dear Alex,

Hurray!

I am sure I saw this on my last visit to your studio; it's a marvelous composition ad accomplishment! In light of the seminal international force your late father was in the scope of twentieth century architecture (an understatement), this portrait will be greatly cherished by Estonia (another understatement). How wonderful for you and your portrait to be at the center of this very meaningful and patriotic Estonian celebration! Alex, the true talent certainly runs in your family! Can we mention your brother's best selling documentary movie tribute to your father ("My Architect" certainly provides a rich contextual background for this portrait, which we all will appreciate (and rent))? Your late father appears so alive and immediate! Since your father is part of our international cultural literacy, your portrait conveys a story of a brilliant hero, which through sharing of this loving tribute of yours, we all can be enriched.

WELL DONE, my friend!

Garth
