An editorial tribute to former President Barack Obama, this acrylic painting was originally exhibited inside a triangular flag box but later displayed inside a vitrine in my 2014-2015 Flint Institute of Arts show.  It depicts the President as a guardian angel with his red beret.  Other fashionable accessories of the time are also included.
