This took place in Boston, but I thought you'd like to see this beautiful portrait by artist Richard Whitney. I love all the details, especially the hands and the patterns in the wood of the desk.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney smiles with artist Richard Whitney, left, after his official portrait is unveiled during a ceremony on the Grand Staircase at the Statehouse in Boston Tuesday, June 30, 2009.

Hopefully a presidential portrait of Romney gets to hang in the White House one day.
I second that, Torsten. And, hopefully the day is very soon.
