Well, as a studied appreciator of fine Art...I cringed. The background booms the Subject. Oh well. I trust somebody will post the pic; I'm busy...and un-inclined to do so.

The painting of Michelle does not look anything like her.

At least the painting of Obama looks like him but it is a very un-presidential portrait. Obama isn't even wearing a tie.

Both portraits are very strange. Obama with the green wall/bush in the background and Michelle is basically white in hers.

Michelle's isn't bad, although it doesn't really look like her.

Obama's is just...yikes...

Please tell me that it was black artists that did both of these. They are horrible.

I knew the son of the guy who did Reagan's and both Bush's portraits. It really costs the government almost nothing for this, since artists will do Presidential portraits just for the notoriety and they can charge far higher prices once you do a Presidential or Royal painting.

That said, the Obamas portraits look weird as frick.

I'm going to assume Michelle's is white and black on purpose

I have no idea the reason why Obama is sitting in what looks like ivy

dumb question, but why does Obama's portrait look like he is taking a shite in the woods?

That looks nothing like her at all. Why is she dressed in white face?
