How do you increase the value of an otherwise conventional Shepard-Faireyesque contemporary painting of Barack Obama? Based on Ebay’s latest half-million dollar auction, I’d say you could claim a holy halo miraculously appeared enveloping the head of the anointed one while your painting was still a work-in-progress.
Above is the finished Obama portrait this anonymous Plano, TX artist calls a “very warm saintly angelic spiritual painting.” Judge its saintly angelic spirituality for yourself, if you’re moved by the fuzzy rainbow halo surrounding the half-finished Barack in the photos below.
You still have a week to bid on this cultural artifact of pro-Obama delusional excitement, but remember I said bids start at a half million dollars.
