Regarding the Obama portrait: I found this link interesting, especially the explanation for all the foliage http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/art...story.html I do feel that the artist captured facial features of the former President very well, but that is really a weird left hand...

I, too, think the face is very well done.
I have endured a great deal of ridicule without much malice; and have received a great deal of kindness, not quite free from ridicule. I am used to it. (Letter to James H. Hackett, November 2, 1863)
