Admiral




Just finished this one for the Naval War College. We'll probably unveil it up there sometime before Christmas.

I think this is a fairly good photo of it.

Best to all---TE

Hi Tom,

This portrait has an uplifting feeling that I really like, maybe because the color is so clear and the sunlight so bright. I think it also has to do with the man's expression. He looks as though he really loves his job, or maybe he's a cheerful man who lifts other people's spirits. Nice work!

Alex

Tom, this is so impressive for so many reasons, not the least of which is the difficult perspective design you have so successfully brought off. One of the things I like so much about your work generally is that your paintings have such a sense of humanity, regardless of the official position of the subject. Congratulations on another outstanding portrait!

Excellent job Tom. It feels so dimensional.

How large is the work?

I really like the way you handled the angles with the flags, building and floor keeping the focus on the Admiral. I am assuming it is done in oil?

Very well done portrait.
