Life Portrait Sketch

"Hon, Terry Branstand, former Iowa governor," oil on panel, private collection

This is a never-before-shown life study of a former governor of Iowa, Terry Branstad. About a decade ago I was commissioned by Des Moines University to add a portrait of this former governor (who was then President of the university) to their  collection. 

We had several life sessions before I completed the work. This one was gifted to Mr. Branstand and his wife.
