Garth--

Saw this in progress at your studio, and it's great to see it finished...it's every bit as spectacular as I expected.

With all that's going on in the background, with the personal and official references, still nothing competes with his fabulous spirit and your capturing of it. He will be alive and available to all who follow, as long as someone is around to take care of the painting. What more needs to be said?

(Glad you were duly introduced at the unveiling...more terrific commissions will follow.)
