Completed Obama

It's interesting to compare the version of this after one day, with the finished version after another two days, and how the personality and likeness can be developed and tightened in the rendering. It's what I love most about painting.

Paul, as i said on the NCN, this is an amazing, One of the best Obamas I've ever seen. The fact that you did this live makes it that much cooler. Those eyes are so great.
