Artist who painted ''worst'' Trump portrait for Colorado State Capitol says 41-year career may be doomed after prez''s criticism

[NYPOST] The artist behind a portrait of Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
in the Colorado State Capitol says her career could be in tatters now that the president has besmirched it on social media.
Sarah Boardman's painting of the president had hung in the Denver building for six years before Trump called it ''purposefully distorted'' and ''truly the worst'' on his Truth Social platform in January, prompting state politicians to yank it off the wall.
Now the artist's 41-year career ''is in danger of not recovering'' from the backlash, Boardman said in a statement on her website on Saturday.
Image of the thing at the link. It isn’t a faithful likeness, I fear. The question is whether President Trump was being kind when he said it was purposefully distorted — the alternative being that she actually thought she nailed it... | ''For the 6 years that the portrait hung in the Colorado State Capitol Building Rotunda, I received overwhelmingly positive reviews and feedback,'' Boardman said.
People generally won’t tell an artist they don’t like her work — it feels mean. That’s why there are paid critics, universally hated for their clever viciousness. | ''Since President Trump's comments, that has changed for the worst.''
