I remember when Peter Hurd was commissioned to paint Lyndon Baines Johnson’s official portrait.

When presented, LBJ said “That’s the ugliest thing I ever saw.” and refused to accept it.

Yet somehow Peter Hurd’s career managed to NOT ‘be doomed’ by that.

As to this particular Trump painting..... Am I the only one that thinks it looks very much like the artist, not the supposed subject???
Like she used a mirror instead of a photo of Trump to guide her brush strokes and paint colors?

Nope. I immediately thought the same thing.
