Today marks the one year anniversary of Barak Obama’s inauguration.To celebrate Michael Cuffe of The Obama Experiment has released a special print titled: I Still Believe: “I believed in him a year ago, and today… I still believe.”
Here is an excellent acrylic example from Clayton Singleton: “…painted with layers of color covered with one “skin” color overlayed with an image of Obama with the Presidential oath written and scored throughout the image. I painted this after Barack Obama won the 44th Presidency. It was displayed in The Selden Gallery and published on January 20, 2009 in Portfolio Magazine.”
Happy Monday everyone. For your viewing enjoyment, Tina Seamonster sent this in: “Some days we just want to see Obama hit a zombie in the face. It is an image that warms the heart.” How very true – jump inside for more info.
Andy Thomas sent in this truly amazing and inspiring painting: “… An African-American runs for President, not as a “Civil Rights” candidate but as an American… But, before that could happen, John Jay fought against slavery, Harriet Tubman led the helpless to freedom, Frederick Douglas influenced Abe Lincoln…” Jump inside for the rest.
Here is the second mixed media painting by Francis Tucker, an artist from Cologne, Germany. Jump inside for the full image … And feel free to give us your take on all of the words and symbolism. I became lost at ‘bubblegum’.
, an artist from Cologne, Germany sent in two mixed-media paintings. One before the election and another after Obama became president. This one is the ‘before’. Jump inside for the full image – return tomorrow for the ‘after’:
Barack has been painted as a saint before, but we still really like Beth Consetta Rubel’s rendition: “Multimedia portrait depicting Barack Obama as a saint.” Jump inside to see the image in all of it’s majesty!
