Hi Garth, I'm speechless too !!

I'm also impressed about the way you manage to arrange these official portraits in a way that emphasizes both the human and his position.

I am especially fond of the background of this painting, that sandstone fireplace and the heavy wooden door make a perfect match to the blues in his suit.

Your value control is also impressive. When I look at the painting close up all the details are clear, but when I step back a few steps the person will separate from the background, magic !!!

And then there's the tie, you are a patient man, Garth
