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!

Here are the rest of the photos.

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.

This is where the event took place, at the State Capitol in Cheyenne.

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

Congratulations Michele. I know you've worked very hard for this and it's well deserved.

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 Michele, the paintings look great. I'm looking forward to seeing more!

Michele, major congratulations to you- the paintings are wonderful and you have become a real powerhouse in this field. I am so proud to know you, my talented friend!

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?
