Garth, thank you for your glowing assessment now and for your encouragement while it was on the easel. As for your claim that I did "everything right," I not so sure, but I did put a lot of effort into making all the elements work together. He has a very vital personality so I think it was a relatively straightforward likeness.
Sharon, thanks! I'm allergic to stock portraits of any kind. Unfortunately they abound in this area, too. Jefferson University Hospital just unloaded Eakins' Gross Clinic ,unfortunately--at least it's in the art museum now. But Drexel University, where this is going, has a really excellent collection of portraits and landscapes, which we should see if you come this way.
