John's "Beard"

Yesterday, I received this amusing e-mail from my father.   It is now my first "guest post."

Holly, your portrait of John (saintly, long-suffering) looked so much like a Renaissance-era portrait, probably of St. Jerome or somebody, that I won't be able to rest till I've found the one it's closest to. No luck so far.

Well, as of New Years Eve, he did slightly resemble Ambrose Burnside or Colonel Mustard from Clue.
