A Portriat Speaks 1,000 Words

 The professor that I'm working for is letting his GTFs go crazy this week and talk about our specialties. This could be a big mistake on his part, because I'm going to look at the Presidential Portraits from the last few terms of office. We're talking about Realism vs. Naturalism. For the record, I think these are all Realism, but I find the comparison pretty entertaining. Clinton's is also about twice as big as any of the other portraits and is right across from George Bush Sr's formally-staged portrait. It makes me wonder what President Obama's will be like. Spray paint?
