I am satisfied with the main features of US President-elect Barack Obama. I concentrated on the sheer joy of victory. The arm was held high. And, I deliberately painted his face the blackest of black so as to emphasise the fact that he is the very first African American to attain such an honour. I leave it up to the viewer to conjure up images of the rest of Obama's features.
