Frank, The painting is absolutely magnificent. I remember my reaction when I first saw it, how alive it is, and how deeply proud I am that "once upon a time" can be immortalized in this way. I recall a few guests, whom never met my father, made comments which revealed a great deal of insight and intuition, and I marveled at how accurate their comments were, as they picked all up from the painting itself.
And capturing that unique essence if exactly what great art is about, that is talent. I thank you again for your true diligence and praise your own intuition which made the effect of this painting, possible.
