The light catches the surface of this oil painting of Barack Obama, by artist Stephen B Whatley, pictured with his work (in London, UK - December 2008).......just as the brightest of light will shine on Barack Obama today as he is sworn in as 44th President of The United States of America in Washington,DC.
" I pray that as he historically takes office, Barack Obama will bring further hope to the USA and the world; that he will be given the chance to bring his visionary hopes of restoration of posterity and peaceful unity between all peoples- irrespective of race, religion, disability, sexual orientation...any prejudice against innocent minority groups - to a bright and enduring fruition. Peace...not war; love...not hate...God bless the new President of the USA"
Stephen's portrait tribute to Barack Obama has been published in TIME magazine (Person of The Year issue; December 29, 2008) and a new American coffee table book, "44th - Barack H. Obama- The Commemorative Edition". To view the portrait & details from the painting please click the links below:
