This portrait was done by Kehinde Wiley from California. This portrait depicts Barak Obama in a black suit, surrounded by different flowers. My favorite part about this portrait is that each of the flowers has a connection to Obama. The jasmine white flowers represent Hawaii where Obama was born, while the blue lilies represent Kenya where Obama's father was born, and the orange chrysanthemums represent Chicago where Obama began his career in politics. I think this is a beautiful portrait that has a lot of meaning hidden inside it.
