Dear Garth:
I saw this portrait last night after coming home from a 6 hour train trip, and despite the fatigue was absolutely riveted to the screen of my computer. Behind the calm exterior of that face exists a strength and inner peace I felt at every level (except a literary one, being too inept to correctly put it into words). You are one of the few artists who can paint below the surface.
You have managed an exquisite painting from an area which I would find hard to mine. The color combination of the background is very evocative of Asian art, vermilion and gold, understated but effective.
