In May of 2008, I traveled to Washington, DC for the unveiling of my portrait of Congressman James Oberstar, Chairman of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. I was selected by the Congressman to paint his portrait early in 2007. He sat for the portrait several times in the studio at River Ridge Arts in Burnsville, MN. I worked on the painting from life and photographs over a period of about nine months and finished in March of 2008.

The painting was very well received and will hang in the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Room in the Rayburn Office Building in Washington. You can see a picture of it in the gallery section of the website.
