These pictures don't do the venue justice--it's a huge room with maybe seventy-five (?) Union League portraits in rows up to a very high ceiling.

Garth is being modest--his portrait really holds its own in the group and looks very impressive.

I had a great time up there...

It was a fun day with Tom and Garth. So glad you could make the trip, Tom! I had never been in this room before and it certainly was impressive. You can't believe how many portraits could hang on the walls of one room! It must be a full-time job to rotate them! Garth, you portrait looked very solid, atmospheric, and well-modeled. It really held its own in that massive space.

Just noticed that in the bottom photo, Mr. Lincoln seems to be aware of Garth's new contribution too...

Garth,

Here I've been enjoying this painting for more than two months and I haven't yet responded! Everything about this is impressive: the commission, the venue, the room and most of all this masterful painting. What a priveledge it is to know you!

BIG congratulations,
David
