In that painting of Joey Smith the mormon artist has made him so prissy and feminine, but the photo of Joey Smith depicts him just the same way..
However, while the artist changed his looks into a clear eyed runway model/matinee idol/football hero/Jesus image, the actual Joey Smith was barely passed plain and was skinny and weaselly and had blood shot eyes..
It reminds me of the Leonardo Da Vincis painting of the Last Supper...
Da vinci had a nice looking strongly moral man pose for the LORD Jesus Chris...he worked on the disciples while he looked for a “Judas”
Several years went by and finaly he saw a man on the street who was a drunked and foul mouth and a thief...
As posed the man and painted him as Judas...
As the man sobered up, he recognized Da Vinci and realized where he was
He told Da Vinci that he had posed for him before...
Da Vinci said that he had never seen him before
The man said “Dont you remember me? I posed for you as Jesus”
BTW the same mormon artist depicts his paintings of the mormon jesus as looking just like his imaginary Joey Smith...
