“The Obamacrat” Watercolor on paper.
The Obamacrat allowed me to paint him. If you don’t know The Obamacrat, you should visit www.theobamacrat.com. I get a lot of news there. I learned about National Service Day there and grabbed me up a coupla kids, mine being one, and we painted walls at a mental health facility.
I don’t remember how I came upon his website. Oh, I know now. He was rambling off on somebody else’s site and I went over to visit with him. He loves art, politics, sad love songs and is a professional chef. He tells folk off when necessary and since I get my news from there, he’s also well-informed. He supports other bloggers with re-blogging and has a whole lot to say. A WHOLE LOT. From my experience with Chicagoans, they speak their mind like nobody’s business and if you visit The Obamacrat’s site, you’ll find out exactly what I mean.
Thank you Obamacrat, for the commission, the energy you put into blogging to keep readers informed and those pretty dishes I’ll probably never learn how to cook. Me being the visual person I am, that’s about all I can say on the food part.
And thank all of you blogging folk.
I'm an artist who's writing,mothering, blogging and doing a few other things under the sun. I buy toilet paper 99.9% of every trip I make to the grocery store. I'm a people watcher, so I know you're here but drop me a line anyway.

One of the people who is following Obama so closely, I think he could contribute to a biography! So, I felt this needed to be shared. Congrats on such a great sketch.
Thank you again.
Pretty portrait. So that’s the ObamaCrat! He’s got that discerning look that I’d expect of him. Really nice.
Thank you.
I expect you’ve got yourself one of those discerning looks too, George. Hope all’s well.

I hope Obamacrat is honored, as I would be. Such a beautiful portrait, Totsy, and such a very nice tribute. I “discovered” Obamacrat through your site and he really is very in the know! As always, I love your paintings.
