Why would you take the offer to paint his portrait?

[–] MECHAGODZILLA2@midwest.social 15 points 4 months ago

She was previously chosen to paint the portrait of former President Barack Obama for the Colorado Capitol. Boardman painted him again in 2012 when she was privately commissioned for portraits of Obama and former President George W. Bush as part of a wider presidential series

Still not great, but at least some context
