Thank you, Heidi and Chris!
Heidi, I admire artists like you who can actually create something in three dimensions--unlike myself, who can only paint the illusion of a 3-D object or subject. Anyway, I'm attaching a closeup of the bust (sorry, the resolution isn't great, since it's just a enlargement of the original jpeg.)
Chris, I am sure he would appreciate your reaction. He is a very dynamic leader, both visionary and practical, and I quickly saw why he brought Drexel out of a financial and academic decline 10 years ago and made it a thriving and exciting university with new law and medical schools. I wanted the portrait to reflect his power and also tie him to the historic origins of the school.
