Dear Tom,

I am so belated in seeing your portrait, it is really gorgeous. I feel that I could touch the robes and feel their crispness. Bravo!

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.
Linda

Linda--

Thanks so much! I like the military and judicial portraits exactly for that reason--it's a challenge deal with all of the required details and still get to the spirit of the person.

Best--TE

Tom, what can I add that has not already been said? I like not only the painting, but also how you share your goals and triumphs in each painting. You have definitely achieved everything you have set out to do. Congratulations!

How could I have missed this one?!

I also feel this may be your personal best, Tom, and one of the best official portraits I've seen. Definitely one I will flag to look at again later for further study.
