The resulting artworks will make up "Portraits of Sandra Day O'Connor" at the National Portrait Gallery, running March 30 through October 8, 2007. Here are some of the portraits from that day. ” l http: //www. mensvogue. com/arts/slideshows/2007/03/sandra_day_ oconnor

Another Article…. Portraits of Sandra Day O'Connor To Monday, Oct. 8, at the National Portrait Gallery By Kriston Capps Posted: April 5, 2007 How do you frame the First Lady of Law, Sandra Day O’Connor? That’s the question 25 amateur and professional painters, all members of a New York portrait society called the Painting Club, set out to answer in this National Portrait Gallery exhibit. Commissioned last year to honor the retirement of the first woman on the Supreme Court, the paintings all fall to the right of the centrist jurist: staid and conservative. Yet each carries the faint glimpse of the revealed O’Connor. ----- Even David Levin’s wiry watercolor—which, from a distance, hints at a more daring approach—is equally as restrained upon closer inspection. Some models just don’t sit well. As a …… John Riggins once said: “Come on, Sandy baby, loosen up. ” the exhibition is on view from 11: 30 a. m. n 7 p. m. daily, to Monday, Oct. 8, at the National Portrait Gallery, 8 th & F Sts. NW.
