1. She is soooo talented...most excellent! Well done Joan

[gademocrat7]

2. Amazing!

[lagomorph777]

3. Hyperrealism - and just as beautiful as her voice.

Saw her in 2004 in DC at an antiwar rally. She was spellbinding.

[Spazito]

4. Wow, I had no idea she was such a talented painter!

[brush]

5. So great but it's not fair. How many talents does she have.

6. Amazing lady - MLK and Joan integrating my HS in 1966

[MontanaMama]

9. Wow! That's a big deal.

Thanks for posting this.

[erronis]

19. I think I remember something like this in around 1965 in DC.

Any chance that's where you were?

Hard to understand that even DC wasn't integrated, let alone the deep south.

25. No, Mississippi - I was only 16 years old but it changed my life.

I saw KKK cross burnings, the nastiness of racism first hand. When I finished HS, I left to go to college and never went back. I still have family there but am so thankful that I left when I did.

So sad that 55 years later we are still fighting the same battles.

[SheltieLover]

7. Wow!

Excellent!

[dmr]

8. Beautiful, just beautiful

[pandr32]

10. Incredibly talented American icon

She sings like an angel and is a gifted painter, too. Somehow I bet she can do anything well. We are so lucky to share space with people such as Joan Baez.

[MLAA]

11. Beautifully done portrait.

She is an extremely talented artist as well as singer.

[burrowowl]

12. An excellent painting!

[Brother Buzz]

13. UGG! She's wearing her studio boots!

[BeckyDem]

14. wow

She is such a beautiful person!

15. If Republicans had their way, her father would not be allowed in the country today.

He was born in Mexico, but his family moved here when he was 2. According to Wikipedia, her father studied mathematics and physics and earned a PhD from Stanford. He is credited as a co-inventor of the x-ray microscope. Her mother was born in Scotland as the daughter of an English Anglican priest. Joan Baez is a treasure for the US and a perfect example of why immigration benefits this country.

16. DAYUM she's good!

I hope she plans to send that portrait to him.

[liberalla]

17. What a great portrait! You really see his humanity and get a feeling for the man.

Very, very nice!

[LakeArenal]

39. Maybe hang it in the White House for awhile.

[liberalla]

40. That's a grand idea! It would be perfect for a stamp too, IMHO.

[soldierant]

18. Damn, she's good.

[StarryNite]

20. Wow!

[llmart]

21. Just one more example of an amazing woman!

I have loved her since the 60's. Very talented woman.

[colorado_ufo]

22. The painting should be titled,

"Zelenskyy Uniting the World."

[spanone]

23. Been a fan for many decades...Another National Treasure

[blueinredohio]

24. Wow! Very impressive.

She should send him the painting.

[niyad]

26. Extraordinary!!

[ificandream]

27. I love Joan!

Saw her several times back in the day, got to talk to her once. She is a true patriot if there ever was one. Love ya, Joan!!

[fescuerescue]

28. I thought that this was going to be an old 60's photo

Happy to hear that she is still with us.

(I admit I thought that I thought we lost her around the time of Jimmy Hendrix and probably in a similar fashion)

[Cha]

29. Wow.. So Creative.. Beautiful

painting of Pres Zelensky!

Rt TY 💙💛

[Karadeniz]

30. Multi talented lady!!!

[UTUSN]

[yardwork]

32. That is amazing!

[Totally Tunsie]

33. Joan has been my #1 since the 60's...she's a beautiful

and talented woman in every way.

One of my life's highlights was meeting and speaking with Joan after one of her concerts in Hyannis, MA, many years ago. It's my hope she's with us for a long time to come.



Thank you so much for posting this!

[PatrickforB]

This doesn't look like Joan, are you sure it is her?

[Totally Tunsie]

44. That's definitely Joan...

always at her natural best! I think she's looking great for 81 years old!

[Brother Buzz]

45. That's totally her property in Woodside, California.

Think she hired a stand-in double for the photo?
