Look out Maud Lewis, there’s some seriously famous company near your little house. The Art Gallery of Nova Scotia unveiled a new piece to its permanent collection on Monday, none other than “The Obama Family,” by beloved Nova Scotia folk artist Bradford Naugler.

Naugler carved all four members of the Obama family: Barack and Michelle (looking stylish in a red dress and kickass boots), daughters Malia and Sasha, and dog Bo. No sign of Sarah Palin’s death panels. According to the AGNS, Naugler’s “well known for his carvings of roosters, peacocks, seagulls and bears, as well as mermaids.” The artist has made a Barack Obama before, but this is apparently the first time he’s carved the entire family. And it’s the closest you’re going to get to the gorgeous real-life family, so get to the AGNS before September 7.
