Let me get this off my chest right now. Sorry, but I do not like these portraits of President Barack H. Obama & Michelle Obama, which are slated to hang in the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery. UGH!! Please, don't do it. These are simply awful. Horrendous, even.
Where is Michelle's beautiful brown skin?
Why is the President sitting surrounded by all that foliage? For what purpose?
I really, really hate that tan suit! And, there you go again with the stupid foliage - reminds me of the Between Two Ferns interview.
These are the worst portraits of any recent President & First Lady I have ever seen What were these artists thinking? I could do better! They look like cartoon characters. I don't know, it appears the First Couple likes them. Well, I don't think most of the public will. So far, majority of the comments are brutal. Someone commented that these look as if they were done by a Paint-By-Numbers Kit! And, I agree with them. These portraits do not belong in the Smithsonian. Please redo these portraits, they are not worthy of President Obama & First Lady, Michelle. They deserve better. This is so not right. FIX THIS!
NOTE: After typing this, found out these are NOT the official portraits that will be hung in the White House. Thank Goodness!
POST NOTE: I HOPE the same two artists did NOT do the WH portraits.
