Eddie Calvo is the governor of Guam
Yes, govenor.. The president of Guam is someone called Obama – but Guam has it’s own parliment and it’s not a state of the US and so on, so I decided to put Mr. Calvo into the mix. Congratulation to you, sir.
Guam’s indigenous people have been there for 4000 years, but the last 3-400 years, the island has been tossed around between various occupying powers.
Lovely portrait. I know nothing about Mr Calvo but your painting captures and conveys the warm personality suggested by the original photo.
He sure looks like someone you’d want to go bowling with!
He’s the most cheerful and friendly looking leader so far 🙂
Who can blame him 😉 He lives in Guam!
