I also like the cheerful colors--very suited to the judge's personality as it comes across to the viewer. Congratulations on a job well done!

David, from someone I think ROCKS, Thank you!
Alex, You know it is also hard to make them all the same! Thanks! Of that ski-slope painting, yes, it does hang in his judicial chambers, but not in the red-walled courtroom as suggested. His late wife painted that, representing their son on the slopes. Not a bad little painting! I diminished it in value slightly to keep the focus more on the main subject. Judge Ditter insisted on weaving his wife and one of his kids into the portrait, and that little painting was the solution. Better than putting ski poles behind the chair!
