3. they had the list in the article and here is the picture:

The doodle is an informal sketch of a moment in time on the Senate floor. It features Senators Chuck Schumer, Majority Leader Harry Reid, Dianne Feinstein of California and Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts. While not detailed portraits, the politicians are easily identifiable.

I like the sensitive line work. I'm an artist and my meeting doodles don't look that good! :)

15. Can you do better? Especially off the cuff in a meeting? I don't think they're

worthy of a museum but they're quite nice given the context. I'm especially impressed because I am an artist and can say that he knows more about my area of expertise than I know about his.
