Guess Who Dresses Up the Rosenberg HQ now?
Guess what are dressing up the exterior of the our Rosenberg Headquarters now? None other than two Barack Obama paintings.
Real nice ones, too.
You don't believe me, take a look below.
How about a close up view?
These works of art were painted on masonite boards, and the paint used was acrylic house paint.
And they were painted by high school students.
It's true. Lewis Bennett is an Art and Art History teacher at Elkins High School, in Fort Bend ISD. He recently asked his class of 14 whether they wanted to produce these works, and 9 of them did. The results, needless to say, are spectacular.
I checked, and you can see these artworks, and recognize who it is, from two city blocks away.
My guess is that at least one of these is going to wind up on the auction block as we prepare for the 2010 elections.
Great job on the signs.
I saw one this morning on another website. Held by a 4-5- year old, it read:
"I want a Vice President who can read. Just like my Kindergarten Class."
All are priceless.
It's a fantastic painting. It will be wonderful when Obama is in office and we again have a compassionate President.
Grand subject, excellent rendition. Real talent is being shared here!
Earlier this week we posted an Obama-Biden yard sign, after a flurry of McCain't-Palin signs started appearing on our street in Commonwealth in First Colony. This morning, I noticed it had gone missing.
Don't know if its the "angry vote" that's become activated this week amidst polling numbers that are falling like the DJIA; the accumulated frustration that's become more vociferous at McCain rallies; or the fact my neighbors are poor sports.
We posted another sign this afternoon, with a small note attached to it that asks, "Is stealing your neighbor's sign part of your "family values"? The next step if it gets swiped again is to either take it in at night, or put up a big
McCain't
poster on the front of the house.
If anyone would like a McCain't bumper sticker, I can email you the artwork--you'll have to print it on a color printer onto label paper. It only has to last 24 more days, which is about how long the "No country for old men" ticket has left. The sticker has been getting both laughs and dirty looks, depending on which side you're on. It looks exactly like the McCain bumper sticker, so most people do a double take.
Make a request to coylepeninsula@yahoo.com, and put McCain't in the subject line.
