Gov. Tim Pawlenty’s official portrait, which will hang in the Capitol with the other state governors, will be painted by Ross R. Rossin — known as Rossin, who’s painted President George W. Bush, President George H. Bush and Sharee of “Real Housewives of Atlanta.”

Rachel E. Stassen-Berger of the Star Tribune directs us to more of the Bulgarian artists’ works, both traditional, and not so much.

The governor’s office said the portrait will cost about $25,000. The previous gubernatorial portraits for Arne Carlson and Jesse Venutura cost $20,000 each.
