Congratulations, Michele!
Wow, this is SO wonderful! It is a magnificent portrait. You make him look competent, confident, in touch with the concerns of the people, approachable and kind.
Would you by any chance have some closeups?
Michele, I am so proud of your accomplishments. You are in every sense worthy of this honor and many more.

Congratulations Michele!
I remember when you got this commission - I had wondered about it a couple times. May this lead to more and more prestigious portraits for you.

Michele, this is a terrific painting!. It's beautifully composed, excellent in execution and your subject is expertly portrayed, full of charisma, warmth and strength. You were a wonderful choice for this commission. I am so proud to know you, and a big congratulations!
(Side note: look how you stand out in red among a sea of dull dark suits, you clever woman. Good for you!)
