Subject: Obama painting
To one and all: My latest portrait painting for Gerstell Academy’s “Gallery of Heroes” is President-Elect Barack Obama. President Obama’s portrait joins over 175 other portraits in the halls of Gerstell Academy, a private school in Finksburg, Maryland. When the school opened its doors about 8 years ago, the founder, Dr. Fred Smith, decided to hang portraits of positive role models from history in the hallways to inspire the students. He originally envisioned about 20 portraits. As the school has grown, so has the gallery. It is now possibly the largest collection of portrait paintings by one artist in one place.
