The 6th Annual Womans Day Red Dress Awards - Arrivals

From now until June 7, you need to get your tails down to Sirani Gallery on Forbes Avenue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The lovely works of Peter Max are on display there, including his 44 Obama paintings and a total of 180 mostly unique works.

That’s a lot of numbers!

What kind of man has the energy to paint 44 pictures of President Obama? Max credits his endurance to yoga and a vegetarian diet and says he feels like a college kid again.

“I feel like I’m 22 years old,” Max said. “I have 100 people who work for me. I’m involved in animal rights. My wife and I are involved helping hundreds of organizations.”

He may feel like a newbie, but one thing’s for sure: Max is earning way more money that most young, starving artists.

6th Annual Women's Day Red Dress Awards

When vegan artist Peter Max wasn’t dining at Candle Cafe in his neighborhood, he was busy putting 44 faces on President Barack Obama.

Max has painted portraits of the U.S.’s last five presidents, and to celebrate Obama as the 44th president, Max painted 44 different portraits.

He used numerous photos provided to him by CBS and began working before the Christmas Holiday season.

He debuted the portraits CBS’ “The Early Show” last month.

This is not the first of a series of portraits Max has completed. After the 9/11 tragedy, he took nine months to paint all 343 faces of the firefighters who died that day for the American Heroes’ project, a gift to the firefighters’ families.

A portion of the money generated from the Obama portraits will go towards orphanages, according to Max.
