I look at that portrait and think "That is the most depressing sky I have ever seen. That's Seattle-suicide level of depressing."

Ventura is pictured standing proudly over 
                a landscape filled with symbols of Minnesota and important aspects 
                of his life and career. A dark sky highlights his strong, determined 
                face. He is dressed in a dark suit, white shirt and red-white-and-blue 
                tie. On his lapel are a Navy Seal team pin and Navy jump wings, 
                and in his hand is one of the fine cigars he relishes, this time 
                clearly lit</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.mnhs.org/events/press/portrait/"><P class="bodyText">Blended into the landscape behind him are images 
                of an undeveloped, wild Minnesota to his left, and to his right 
                the Capitol building, the Minneapolis skyline, a bridge spanning 
                the Mississippi River, a lush Minnesota golf course and a light-rail 
                train. The governor’s right hand rests on a figure representing 
                “The Thinker,” an image used in his campaign for office 
                that contrasted his reputation as “Jesse, the Body,” 
                with “Jesse, the Thinker.”</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.mnhs.org/events/press/portrait/"><P class="bodyText">The portrait will hang on the ground floor of
