Rushworth's official portrait
of Washington State Governor Gary Locke was unveiled
in the State Capitol by the Governor and his family.
|
|
Rushworth talks about her goal
of creating a portrait that goes far beyond just
showing a surface likeness, but also captures the
spirit of the subject. Governor Gregoire and Governor
Locke look on. |
|
Governor Locke talks about having
his portrait painted. The unveiling event was covered
by seven area newspapers and three television stations,
and was attended by three Governors, two Chiefs
of Staff, the Director of the State Capital Museum,
along with Locke family members and friends. |
|
The portrait will hang in the
State Capitol Building and will become part of the
permanent collection of the State of Washington
Historical Archives. |
| "It was such a privilege to be
chosen for this prestigious commission," says
Rushworth. "Gary Locke is a man of honor and
integrity who dedicated decades of his life to public
service in order that he might better the lives
of others. I have truly enjoyed working with him
and his exceptional staff in the planning of this
portrait and thoroughly enjoyed painting it." |
