Congratulations
This is great Michele. You may have opened up a long list of future commissions for other retiring baseball players.

I hope so, David. Yesterday I sent out thank you letters to all the baseball and political dignitaries I met at the event. I included samples of my other work and suggestons for possible future portraits (significant milestones in baseball, retirement of other executives, or family portraits.) We'll see.....!

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!
