Didn't care before. Still don't care now.

But that painting was terrible, in my opinion. Doesn't look good. Some of his other work looks nice.

I've never heard of either artist, and honestly it took me a little by surprise that we got official Obama portraits over a year after they are out of the White House.

As for the portraits themselves, I think my initial reaction of "wtf is this?!" was pretty common, but on further reflection I actually like that they did something creative and different. A Presidential portrait should be about more than just showing what the person looks like. We have official photo portraits for that.

Neither is really my personal cup of tea, but I don't think they're bad

Its a fucking disgrace and the artist should be immediately fired. I hope the idiot never finds work again.

It's not his official portrait, it's a painting that will go into the Smithsonian's Hall of Presidents

I'll say that the garden background is pretty weird but I really don't care about them one way or the other
