Probably Obama’s uncle. From what I can remember he is an African war veteran from Kenya. She liked the picture, so she decided to turn it into an oil painting.
Here are photos I’ve taken of some of her work (the first pic is her w/ her violin). She’s got some really cool stuff on tap to paint this summer. We’re finally starting to get her working from original photos.

She is very talented. I like her choice of what to paint as well.
It looks too much like the photos she paints from. She probably project the photos on to her canvas and copies them exactly. I find that boring.
