Obama Portrait


Oil on 7x5 gessoed hardboard.
Well no matter what your opinion, pro or con, for or against the new administration.... America, like a ship has been launched on a course bound for we know not where...we can only hope for good events along the way to our destination.
This painting was done from an image as Obama gave his inauguration speech.

  1. Wow, wonderful portrait Dean, I like how you painted the ear loose so the focus is on the face. You can paint anything.

  2. I ditto the "wow"! Artbistro.com is having a mini-contest with its members on Obama images. You should join for free and enter this. All that's been submitted so far have been digital composites. We need REAL art in there.
