For the past week, passersby have been crowding around the Museum Art Inc. in Larchmont to get a glimpse of the giant paintings of Barack Obama and John McCain.
The oil paintings, almost 6 feet tall, were done by Paolo Corvino, a Larchmont resident who said he has artwork on display in the White House for every president since Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Corvino, 75, said he was taken back by the amount of elementary-aged children that have taken interest in the paintings.
“I’m surprised by how they’re already excited about politics already,” Corvino said.
“The young kids seem to like the Obama painting more,” he added. “He’s like their superstar. The older people seem to not let you know who they like more.”
You can see the paintings and Corvino’s other work at his gallery at 1887 Palmer Ave. in Larchmont.
