SB, I couldn't agree more. I've always wondered why, as Joy Thomas says, you have to have a certain number of these political/governmental portraits in your portfolio before you are taken seriously. Not to diminish the importance of these people--but why are famous artists, musicians, writers, scientists, etc. not considered as "important?" Why would a commission to paint one of these people not be considered as important? Because really these people make the world a better place.
