I feel like a high school kid that isn't the cheerleader and isn't in the smoking lounge. I'm jealous of all of you and wish I had been able to take the tour. Was it Groucho who said, "I wouldn't want to belong to any club that would have me as a member?" Well I would bend that rule in this case. Looks like you had a great time and you all look so cute.

Dear Garth:
I know what you had to work from and the deadline they placed on you, and you still pulled off a portrait of the highest level.
A friend and I were recently looking at a Sargent and what becomes apparent is the simplicity of it, as if the head were comprised of merely a handful of well placed brush strokes. I see that simplicity and elegance here as well.
Well done!
Scott

Garth,
That is one beautiful painting. You seem to have the franchise on these important legal folk. Why would they want anyone else I wonder.
Are you sure you used all those colors? I can't seem to find number 21 - Mussini Neapelgelb Dunkel #232. No wait, there it is, sorry.
I too have been between those two beauties. My memory is of a beautiful outdoor garden cafe in California. The encounter raised my IQ a full 20 points, which brought it (briefly) up to a robust 110. Regrettably I have not had the pleasure of meeting Heidi.

Garth kept faking heat stroke and demanding cold drinks with umbrellas in them. He also made us fan him with giant palm leaves .

Ah, so true. But at least he is keeping his word to say only nice things about us.
Hey, Garth, I have been out for the past week, and I am likewise thrilled to see this marvelous portrait. Congratulations!
P.S. Mike, that was fun. I will hunt around for pic of us in the garden.

Wow!
Dear Garth, If would say anything, I'd be just repeating what others have said.
Another great work!

Dear Garth,
This really is an incredible portrait and I really admire your sense of color throughout the whole painting. I'll bet it is a really good feeling to have one of your paintings , or several in your case, hung in such a place of distinction!
Many Congratulations,
Julie

 I should admit that group photo was actually a Photoshop frankenstein creation! At one point, Chris was endowed with fifteen fingers! A little quick editing was needed. 
Thanks for the drinks, tiny umbrellas and palm leaves!
Garth
