Wyoming Unveiling of 3 Gov Portraits
The unveiling of my portraits of the three living former Governors of Wyoming happened last Friday and I have posted some photos of the event.
Two posthumous governors portraits, painted by another artist, were also unveiled.
There were speeches by several Governors and Senators and then I was told it was my turn to make a speech. I didn't know I was supposed to do one, so I was completely unprepared to get up to the podium and talk to the audience.
I found out yesterday that I will be also painting at least two more Wyoming Governors portraits, all posthumous, some as far back as the 1890's. Those should be fun!

The first photo shows the current Governor and two Senators who organized the portrait project and the event.
The third Governor I painted is 95 years old and doesn't travel much. He lives at the opposite end of the state and was unable to attend.

I am most impressed. Also what a feather in the cap of the cause of professional woman artists.

Michele,
A HUGE congratulations to you! It looks like a very elegant presentation, and to be unveiling three governors' portraits on one day is quite an accomplishment. They look terrific and the governors look as pleased as punch. ! I know you worked hard. Those 1890s portraits will be a lot of fun!

Congratulations on your tremendous success, Michele. It is so exciting to see your meteoric rise.
Any chance of you posting the portraits here with details so we can see?
