I always wanted a pet chipmunk.
FAFO!!!!!!
Too bad!
It’s like something from a Quentin Tarantino movie.
A burlesque of gratuitous gore.
No it doesn’t ....and the “fact”
that the story reports it’s garnered positive reactions could mean they were being kind to the artist and her bad art and/or they just liked the obvious fact that it made Trump look bloated and unsure of himself....obviously the portrait was done by someone who doesn’t like the man, and likes him less now.
Speaking as a professional artist - It needs to be reworked. I don’t think she tried to make it look bad, but she is just not a great portrait artist. She’s is an “okay” portrait artist. Likenesses are very hard to get right and you need to flatter the person at the same time. Her other portraits are a little better, but I see the same kind of “not quite up to presidential portrait calibre” problems. All the faces are a little too smooth and pudgy...or something.
it’s not as bad as that jesus portrait fix…
“It doesn’t look like him.”
True. Looks like the Alec Baldwin impersonation.
But she should’ve had him sit for a portrait to get it more realistic view.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, maybe she should take another shot at it....
Looks like Alec Baldwin
Kinda looks a little like Alec Baldwin.
It looks like her if she was a man😆
That's really good, LOL!
doesn’t look like him.
Not even close. Looks like someone with mumps.
It looks nothing like him. She painted quite good portraits of Obama and Bush, though.
It makes him look like shit.
No, but it looks like she did the best of her ability without him sitting for it, only to be insulted and humiliated because she chose to depict him as a human being rather than the Devil.
If she had wanted to make him look bad the skin color would be orange, he would be shown with his too tiny pouty mouth, he would look either stupid or mean, all of which liberals depict him as easily, and even so their efforts are recognized as being depictions of him. She did none of that, and made a nice if boring somewhat sympathetic portrait whose failing is making him look a lovably chubby.
He should apologize to her for shooting his mouth off prematurely and being an ass.
FAFO. She altered his facial proportions to give him an almost sinister aura.
You are entirely correct. A more perceptive portrait of Trump would be embraced by him and his supporters. The painter could even offer Trump an explanation: that with the benefit of time and experience, she is a better artist and Trump is a better President, with deeper character evident to her as a portraitist.
Without the hairdo and the signature red tie, it would be hard to recognize this as Trump
What’s off is his mouth, and the cheeks are a bit too full. She failed to capture the twinkle in his eye. His mouth turns down a bit on one side while the other looks ready to pop into a smirk...unless he’s pissed. She didn’t capture his spirit. She made him flat and dead.
I’m thinking she’no/ a Trump supporter. She did well with zero.
