The portraits are supposed to be actual likenesses.....not caricatures.

Is it the museum or the curator that is high?

Is there such an art category as “fictional portraits”? I would understand such an award in this context.

Sheesh....I try to draw, sketch, paint people (NEWBY) and I actually think if I’d attempted Michelle, I could have done better! And, that’s not saying much.

It just does not look even close. Not even the same ballpark. I bet if you asked 1,000 people, without telling them, who that weird-looking chick painted nobody would know.
That weird-looking chick needs a new eyeglass prescription.

My fist take on seeing the painting was it looked like a tenth place effort in a teens draw Mo contest where there were only ten entries.

LOL. Yeah, she has that “Very nice! We’re gonna put that right on the fridge” look.
And the weird-looking one is going “Yay! I painted!”

It appears that the artist changed Michelle's skin tone from mocca chocolate to French vanilla.

The best I could ever do is stick people.
I’m no artist.

When affirmative action enters art, it’s really revealing

There was a young woman in some of my college classes that could draw people very beautifully.
Even the pencil sketches were eye catching.
