I prefer the portrait of Barack Obama opposed to his wife Michelle. I think this portrait of him was very well done, and I believe it actually looks like him. I love the vibrancy of the background and the small pops of color from the flowers throughout. They have a special meaning behind them as well, which I thought was really cool. The blue lilies represent Kenya, the jasmines represents his birth state of Hawaii, and the chrysanthemums represent Chicago, which is a special place for Barack and Michelle. Kehinde Wiley did a nice job with this portrait and I know Mr. Obama is pleased with his work too.
