[edit]

I would appreciate any input from the above WikiProject contributors - Woodward's public murals (in hospitals, offices, and government buildings) are public art pieces. He painted the largest mural painted by an individual in the 21st century, The Greatest Show on Earth, at the Ringling Museum in Sarasota. Here are some of his other interesting public murals:

2009: Jefferson at Monticello, The Thomas Jefferson Visitors Center, Monticello, Charlottesville, VA / 2008: Dolley Madison rescuing the portrait of George Washington, The Montpelier Visitors Center, Madison, VA / 2008: James Madison presenting the Bill of Rights, The Montpelier Visitors Center, Madison, VA / 2007: A View of the Soldiers Home in Lincoln’s Time, The Lincoln Cottage Visitor Center, Washington, DC / 2002: A Loudoun County Story, The Thomas Balch Library, Leesburg, VA / 1996: The Great Odyssey of Medicine, Cyrus Vesuna Conference Center, Inova Fairfax Hospital, Fairfax, VA / 1985: Today’s Army Proud and Ready/Leadership, Department of Defense, Washington, DC / 1983: Space Shuttle Launch, Orbital Flight STS-7, NASA, Washington, DC / 1982: The Memorial Day Parade, City Hall, Rockville, MD / 1979: Arcadia (Idyllic Scenes), Clyde’s of Tysons Corner, McLean, VA

And his contributions to the visual arts realm in DC as a teacher and Old Masters scholar make him an interesting candidate to have on Wikipedia. Any thoughts, edits, or guidance would be most welcomed.

I am friends with this artist. EArvaWeb (talk) 18:24, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I want to clarify - I am friends (acquaintances) with this artist, which did make me look him up on Wikipedia and made me wonder why he didn't have a page. I do think that his contributions to art are worthwhile and should be noted. I am a new wikipedia editor and don't wish to go against community guidelines, so advice and help are much appreciated!
