Everyone:
When you paint,
imagine
you are here.

Some people had asked me to let them know when the photos of the unveiling were up on my site. Here they are: http://www.michelerushworth.com/news/edgarmartinez2.htm
I recently got a letter from Senator Slade Gorton (whom I met in the owner's box) saying how much he liked the painting. I also received a letter from Bud Selig (Commissioner of Major League Baseball) telling me he thought the painting was "magnificent" and that he hoped there might be an opportunity for me to create other portraits for the league in the future. (Me too!!!)

WooooHoooo Michele!! I wished I had taped that whole event even more now! This was such a cool thing for ALL of us! I am SO jealous.  I suppose I have ZERO chance now at getting any portrait business in town.
Haha! Seriously......I'm so happy for you. Another "way-to-go" from your Seattle friend!

Michelle,
I was going to post the link to your site with the unveiling pictures. They are fantastic! I see it has been posted, but thought I might still encourage people to go see them.
What a big deal! Congratulations again.

Michele,
How wonderful for you! You must be over the moon. I hope this is just the beginning of a long series of signed and deposited checks.
I had a picture taken for the local newspaper similar to the one of you in front of the painting, I was wearing jeans, holding a brush, etc. I remember holding my stomach in until it was touching my backbone. I thought I looked pretty terrific. I did not realize until the picture had come out in the paper that the blasted photographer had taken the picture with a wide-angled lens. I was horrified, I looked like a hippo! People called up to congratulate me on the article and somehow felt impelled to ask if I had put on weight!
