Son of Andrew, well worth the trip. Goya downstairs if the copious amounts of Jamie do not do the trick. If you like Jack Russell Terriers you have to check it out. And Seagulls, lots of seagulls, JFK, Andy Warhol and Nureyev’s large member.
Goya did a bunch of portraits which I had never seen. Compare the size of his head to body length then go over into the American Gallery and check out the portraits there. I always thought the early American portraits were botched a bit because they were not trained in getting the head size right.I thought you needed to shrink them on huge canvas but not too much. Now I am not so sure. Big canvas and sometimes the head goes too big. Check out John Singleton Copley over in the American Gallery as well as compare heads that Jamie Wyeth did.
Good Morning Gloucester 
One of the best art reviews I’ve ever read. Thanks Paul.

Love the Dog with the Circle around his eye: Reminds me of Pete From Little Rascals days except Pete ‘s Right eye had the circle.

Well that is an interesting catch and a google of “petey our gang” confirms that the images of the dog about 90% of them the circle is on the right eye. But there are a couple with the original cast that have the circle on the left.
Since Jamie was working with a white dog with no spots he was at liberty to ring either eye. I wonder if he thought of the original Our Gang.
The wiki page Pete the Pup with original Buckwheat is a left eye ring dog.
