"The painting captures George's sharing personality as well as his likeness, surrounded by the New York City that he loves. I can't imagine a better portrait."
—Camilla Smith, George's wife

"I was born in New York, and met my wife, Camilla, in Central Park, each just a short way from where Betsy Ashton placed us with her introspective portraits amidst the rich lines and color of trees, water, bridges, and the architectural parallax of background buildings. The lines of events and time are woven in Betsy's carefully executed style." —George D. Smith
