In the matter of color: the Hon. James T. Giles

Dear Rob,

Now as you might guess, I am even more floored with the kind exuberance of your response. I am a little speechless but entirely appreciative. Seriously, I hope folks don't think i just paid you handsomely for what you wrote, but if you wish to be my first ever publicist, you are hired!

Well, I'm going to start with freebies.

I'm sending a link to all my students to take a good, long look at this painting. They may cry a little, but it will be good for them.

Then, I'm sending a link to all the painting faculty at NHIA so they can send it to their students. I'm sure they will cry, too.

I'm toying with the idea of wearing a sandwich board with "GARTH IS DA MAN" on it, and walking around town.

All right, that last one may require some re-tooling.

Rob, you are too much! I hope nobody actually cries. I showed this portrait to my own class and none of them shed any tears over this.
