The portrait is finished. Dan got here about 3 p.m. or so and picked it up. Their national convention is this weekend in American Falls Idaho. The painting will be presented to the commander. I worked on some of the details for another hour after Dan got here while he and Joe talked and drank coffee. I didn't go as far with the realistic details as I usually do, so the portrait is more painterly. I was pleased with that aspect of it. Above is a photo of the portrait. Dan stayed and visited until about 5:30. He brought some of the biggest, reddest rhubarb I've ever seen from their garden - Joe wants a rhubarb pie. We had a really nice spring day. Joe went to town this morning for his regular blood test and was back before lunch. Other than that only the basics got done. I will write more tomorrow.

Wow!! That was a squeaker! Something can be said for deadlines.
I didn't see the photo, but the finished portrait looks very nice.
