Mrs Michelle and President Barack Obama White House- Anna Wilding x Ma…
This unique collaboration of Anna Wilding and Marc Craig , a unique 1/1 rare artwork, of former First Lady Mrs Michelle Obama and husband President Barack Obama was originally based on a known and compelling photograph by Anna Wilding taken on the Front Lawn of the White House in 2016. Notice the couple walking in unison. It marks the solemnity authenticity and the sincerity of the Obama White House and the many trials and tribulations the couple endured and witnessed in service to their country. It also marks the strength of unity at the time underlying their long marriage .
In addition look at the incredible arms of Mrs Obama - Mrs Obama received a lot of flak on social media and news sites for daring to expose her arms as First Lady. It was pure racism..heaven forbid a black woman strong, educated, uncompromising and attractive to boot shows a glimmer of her arms!
This photograph exemplifies the solemnity of which President Obama took the oath of office and held diligently in his merit in service to the Country.
Anna Wilding witnessed that President Obama understood and knew clearly and worked every day in service to the American people.
