"The portrait is a hit. Much noticed and talked about at the party. All agree it is ME. Andy says it is like having another me in the room – one talking and one looking at him. He says you have caught the look." –Nancy Mead

"The portrait of Nancy is really very fine. Most important, I REALLY LIKE IT. AS DOES NANCY. You caught her in a dominant aspect of her personality, the lovingly mischievous mode, accented by the hat. Thank you." –The Rev. Andrew C. Mead, Rector, Saint Thomas Church, Fifth Avenue.
