I loved this portrait of President Obama because I feel like it really does him justice. His portrayal is classical and everything about the photo looks sharp, fresh, and clean . The flowers in the background are a beautiful touch that add to the portrait making it much more eye-catching than a regular photo. What makes this even better is the meaning that is behind the flowers in the photo. They are all related to his part with the blue lilies from Kenya, the jasmine representing Hawaii where he was born, and the chrysanthemums representing Chicago where both President Obama and Michelle lived and worked through their successful political careers. I'm very impressed by the work of the artist Kehinde Wiley, he really did justice to represent such an astounding man.
