Dedicated Barack Obama supporter Jim Lennox joined forces with a group of local artists in rural Pennsylvania to create this fabulous [large-scale replica](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith) of the Obama 'Hope' poster in his field near Scranton.

The painting is called 'The Field of Hope,' and is 100 feet long. It took the [fifteen artists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creator-odyssey) a total of 60 hours to complete.

Now that's an impressive show of support for your preferred presidential candidate!

**Implications** - Jim Lennox has stated that Obama has really been an inspiration and he admires the leader's integrity and new ideas. The [lawn art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultimate-game-day-kit) that Lennox put on his lawn is in full color and looks exactly like a poster you would hang on your wall.
