After more than a year in the works, I can finally show this painting. The unveiling was held in the State Capitol on January 4th. What a surreal week it was, doing four different TV and newspaper interviews in my home, having people ask for my autograph at the unveiling itself and making a speech at the State Capitol, with three governors and a load of cameramen and reporters also in the room. Quite the experience.
