“Your Honor” Corporate Painting
The legacy pastel painting “YOUR HONOR” CORPORATE PAINTING was unveiled on November 9, 2009, as a tribute to the former Chief Judge. It became the twelfth portrait in the Third District Court of Appeal’s Courtroom collection, joining a series that had not seen a new addition since the 1950s.
In the portrait, the Chief Judge is depicted seated at his desk in a relaxed, natural pose. Notably, his desk is cleared of work at the close of the day, symbolizing a fresh start each morning. The time on his watch is set to 8:30 AM, marking the beginning of a new day.
The painting is rich with personal details that reflect the subject’s personality. The Chief Judge’s tie features the distinctive colors of the Florida Gators, while the hound dog figurine on his desk is part of his extensive collection. The bold, deep tones in the background convey strength and authority, complementing the modern, stylish details of the Judge’s beard and glasses.
The pastel portrait is framed in a subtly elegant wooden frame with black and gold accents, measuring five inches wide. The gold caving around the outer edge reinforces the sense of power and dignity associated with the Chief Judge’s role in the Third District Court of Appeal in Miami, Florida.
