We are luck a guy with Clinton’s political skill just wanted to get sucked.

If you put Clinton’s political skills together with 0bama’s desire for a Caliphate subjugating America, we’d be in real trouble.

That’s a pretty significant shadow. Would have been nice if the portrait included a globe and the shadow covered it - his “legacy” endangered the entire world.

If you look at the left-hand side of it there's a mantle in the Oval Office and I put a shadow coming into the painting and it does two things. It actually literally represents a shadow from a blue dress that I had on a mannequin, that I had there while I was painting it, but not when he was there. It is also a bit of a metaphor in that it represents a shadow on the office he held, or on him. And so the Clintons hate the portrait. They want it removed from the National Portrait Gallery. They're putting a lot of pressure on them.

ROTFL

Great post...

From Link:

Q: Who did you find was the hardest to capture?

Clinton was hard. I’ll tell you why. The reality is he’s probably the most famous liar of all time. He and his administration did some very good things, of course, but I could never get this Monica thing completely out of my mind and it is subtly incorporated in the painting.

Anybody know what actually happened to Monica’s blue dress?

I’m visiting the Clinton Library in Little Rock next month but I doubt I’ll find it there.

Slick Willy’s left arm looks very strange in that portrait.

Maybe he has the blue dress stuffed up his sleeve.

The artist biggest compliment was from Former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Though it is not important, I wonder what his political leaning is.

If I remember, wasn’t it found that the DEMS always had extremely large portraits painted of themselves while the Republicans had more modest paintings?

Looks like Ted Koppel, not Billy Boy.

It also appears he is holding a towel in his right hand.
