The official unveiling happened a few days ago in the Nevada State Capitol. The first picture shows the former governor, whom I painted, along with the current governor, just after the painting was unveiled. At the start of his speech the current governor said, "We haven't had a good hanging here in a long time!"
The third photo, where the Governor's hand is raised, was taken by Associated Press photographer Cathleen Allison and was the shot that ran in most of the newspapers.
The portrait hangs in the entry hall of the Capitol Building. On the opposite wall hangs a portrait by Daniel Greene of Paul Laxalt who was Governor of Nevada in the 60's and then a long-time Senator.
About a hundred people attended the unveiling including a whole group of TV and newspaper reporters and cameramen. I did three or four interviews and the story was on the news that night and ran in several papers the next day.
The former Governor and First Lady were kind enough to take me out to dinner afterwards. They're great people and I hope we'll stay in touch.
