This just in from Ronald Freeman “… an oil painting on canvas 36″ x 48″. I painted this during Barak’s inauguration. It moved me to create something that would immortalized him.

I hope this image moves people and especially our children to create something that will last a lifetime and beyond. Peace and Love”
