Portrait of Carl Miske, 2003
Commissioned by The River Rats of Columbus Indiana, an organization dedicated to keeping the city beautiful. Often they would start their meetings by dedicating their time to a past Columbus resident who left an impression on the city, not through money, but through their personality and deeds. They decided to commission artists to paint large portraits of some of these figures. Every year for 4 years, they commissioned a new artist to do a new work. I did the final work, a portrait of Carl Miske, who had been the head of the River Rats.
