The official portrait of Jennifer Granholm, Michigan's first woman governor who left office this year, was unveiled in the Capitol rotunda yesterday in Lansing. It was painted by Michigan artist Charles Pompilius.
In the portrait, the former Governor is standing, with one hand on a globe and the other at her hip, indicating she means business. She is not smiling; the look on her face is pleasant but serious. Instead of looking directly out at the viewer as most portrait subjects do, she is gazing out a window "toward the future," as she herself explained. Other symbolism is embodied in a mortar board, a miniature wind turbine, a shovel, and a model of the Chevrolet Volt.
And she's wearing slacks.
Go Gov.
