Donald Trump I painted you like you!!! Co-Portrait Artist says Prez hurts her business

The artist who paints Donald Trump’s portrait in the Colorado Capitol building is fighting back against the president’s claims.
Sarah A. Boardman – the artist who painted the controversial portrait of the commander – finally released a statement that fired Tuesday on President Trump after claiming that she must have lost talent when she was older.
Boardman says Denver, the Colorado State Capitol Advisory Committee, asked her to paint a portrait…and the committee approved all the progress photos she provided along the way, as well as the final product itself.
In fact, Boardman says the portrait, which has been hanging for six years in the Capitol Rotunda, received many positive reviews from those who saw it until President Trump blasted it in a society of truth.
Sarah claims that her paintings do not take into account political bias…and she never tried to caricature Prez.

She said, “While President Trump is free to comment like all of us are, the additional claim that I deliberately “distorted my portrait and must have lost talent because I’m older” has now directly and negatively affected more than 41 years of business.
President Trump said that Boardman rather has no portraits than hanging down on the Rotunda… and Colorado officials ultimately defeated it in the controversy.
We reached out to Trump about Boardman’s response… No words so far.
