Just back from the National Portrait Gallery, where somehow someone invited me to the unveiling of Oprah's portrait by Chicago artist Shawn Michael Warren.
I am told that the chain of events started when Warren, a muralist, painted an Oprah Winfrey's portrait as part of a mural in Chicago's West Loop neighborhood.
Oprah saw the mural and the rest is history... and oh yeah: This dude can paint!
