Hi Tom!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think this is one of my favorites at all time of yours, and one of the best judicial portraits around. Beautifully painted as always, and I especially love the composition and pose. You really get of sense of personality from the subject, and I think it's by what you left in and out of the composition that makes it so.

I've nevered pursued Judicial or Military work as they seem such a stringent template to work within, but this excels at being a traditional portrait and a 21st century humanistic portrait at the same time.

Congrats, and I hope all is well.
