Glenn’s paintings have been published on over 500 book covers including such classics as Room with a View, Pride and Prejudice, Wuthering Heights, and two series of oils on the plays and poetry of William Shakespeare and W.B. Yeats. His portrait work is highly regarded, having received the Honor Award in 2005 and Certificate Award in 2004 from the Portrait Society of America’s international juried show. Harrington’s portrait of Maria Callas was used to promote the Tony Award winning play “Master Class.” Portraits of Payne Stuart and Ben Hogan hang at Murfield Village Golf Club and twenty others are in the permanent collection at the World Golf Hall of Fame; thirty oils, highlighting the career of Jack Nicklaus, were purchased by the Jack Nicklaus museum. Harrington’s recent commissions include a portrait of Wilbur Ross and three murals highlighting golfers Greg Norman and Padraig Harrington, to be installed at Doonbeg Golf Club, County Clare, Ireland in 2006.
