Maria Bartiromo Gets Her Picture Painted

Portraitist-to-the-business-elite Geoffrey Raymond is down in the Financial District again, this time camped out in front of the New York Stock Exchange with a painting of Maria Bartiromo as the Virgin Mary. The caption reads, "If I see that bitch Erin Burnett on The Today Show one more time I'm gonna freak out!"

He must be feeling pretty good about the reception of this piece because on his website, he's written:

Anyway, I have to tell you, it is more than a little odd (in an uplifting way) to hear a perfect stranger speak at relative length about your work to another bunch of strangers. This must be how Jasper Johns used to feel in the early days.

I'll be making a field trip to the NYSE later this week...
