Keith - Maybe you can do the painting of Neil Armstrong too...and present it to NASA (for free)...and maybe it would be better than the commissioned painting...who knows waht might happen...of course then the commissioned artist would be offended (or feelings hurt)...oh well...just typing out loud...
