  • I have an unfinished portrait that was painted by Doyla of my mother in 1973. Mr. Goutman generously gave of his time by teaching art to her 4th graders a few times. This was at Rosemont Elementary School in PA (which, I believe, is no longer in use as a school) He sent her the portrait along with a very gracious letter apologizing for his inability to finish the portrait and his desire for her to have it. It has been very special to her throughout the years and our family continues to enjoy it.
