Twitter users noticed something about Amy Sherald's portrait of Michelle Obama
washington examiner ^ | February 12, 2018

Twitter users noted on Monday morning that Amy Sherald's portrait of former first lady Michelle Obama resembled someone else, not its muse.

The former first lady's painting was done by Sherald, a Baltimore-based artist who won the Gallery's 2016 Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition.

"As you may have guessed, I don't think there's anybody in my family who's had a portrait done, let alone a portrait that will hang in the National Gallery," Obama told attendees.

"I am a little overwhelmed, to say the least," she added. "I am humbled. I am honored. I'm proud, but most of all, I am so incredibly grateful to all of the people who came before me in this journey — the folks who built the foundation on which I stand."

I would have suggested R. Crumb to do Michelle Antoinette’s portrait.

The artist looks like she confused the mulatto Yellow Rose of Texas that did in Santa Anna for Mooch.

The “portrait” bore too close a resemblance to National Lampoon’s Classic Cover Art, ‘Mona Gorilla”?

And Barack is sitting in front of plants.

He looks like he's pooping in the woods.
