Obama Gets Portrait At Colorado Capitol
DENVER (AP) - A painting of President Barack Obama is now hanging in the gallery of presidential portraits at the Colorado Capitol.
The portrait was unveiled Monday and will be displayed in the upper rotunda, along with the portraits of the nation's 43 previous presidents.
The work was done by a Colorado painter, Sarah Boardman, and paid for by private funding. She received a $10,000 commission for her work.
The other portraits were painted by Lawrence Williams, who died in 2003.
