A Royal Portrait Unveiling of the 100th Queen of Rosaria - Portland Rose Festival Queen

Wow! Today was the unveiling of a portrait done of the 100th Rose Festival Queen, by artist Naomi Segal Deitz.  Naomi is a member of the Oregon Society of Artists, http://www.oregonsocietyofartists.com. The OSA is a sanctioned event during the Rose Festival. This was the first time the OSA has commissioned a portrait of the queen. The portrait turned out beautiful.  Thank you to Naomi and the OSA for the special gift.  Hopefully this can become an annual event.
