2018 Best Lent Ever: Day 6: Happy Presidents Day

Happy Presidents Day. I hope you are all enjoying the holiday weekend.

I love the official portraits of Barack (artist Kehinde Wiley) and Michelle Obama (artist Amy Sherald). Color! I searched and there are canvas prints for purchase online.

 

Here’s a discussion of the portraits, including a wonderful video interview of the artists, in this NYTimes article.

A couple artists I have followed for many years after discovering them when their work was displayed in SF galleries.

    Absolutely love their portraits, too. Just the perfect amount of classy and down-to-earth tones, as well in my humble estimation.

    I love everything about these portraits including the choice of artists and, of course, the subjects!
