University Club of Washington D.C. Gatsby Gala Painting

University Club of Washington D.C. Gatsby Gala, painted by Patricia Bennett, October 3, 2015

I was hired by the University Club of Washington D.C. to paint their Great Gatsby themed gala on October 3, 2015.

I thank Krista Long for her generous hospitality and for showing me the Club's wonderful 19th century art collection and Wyeth room.  I watched Pedro, their engineer, carefully construct the tower of champagne, a masterpiece of circles of glass stacked with glasses.

William Howard Taft founded the University Club before he became President of the United States.
