Bruce Elliott has painted a nude portrait of Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin and hung it above the Old Town Ale House, where it's now a prime attraction among his display of more than 200 celebrity portraits and other racy art.
Elliott's wife, Tobin Mitchen, owns the bar on Chicago's North Side,
Palin became Elliott's muse after he saw her on TV.
"I've been following her religiously," he said Monday at the bar. "I had never heard of her before, like everyone else. I find her bizarrely fascinating, even though I pretty much despise everything she stands for."
Despite their political differences, Elliott admits to a bit of a crush on the Alaska governor. He began painting her smile and trademark glasses, he said, before filling in the details: a gun, red high heels, polar bear rug, rugged Alaska landscape and a scared moose. His daughter, who looks a little like Palin and does a great impression of her, served as model for the governor's body

After Palin is president, many, many lives from now, someone will “discover” this painting. They will use it to revise history that Palin wasn’t really conservative, faithful. She just used faith to hold down little people, keep women barefoot and pregnant.

they are liars.
it is really a portrait of Elliot’s daughter.
To: Borges
And besides being tasteless, he is a really bad artist. It looks like he pasted the face onto a badly drawn pinup.

You're right it is. It threw me off since the Tribune restricts really old content to paying subscribers. I wonder why they made this one available to all.

I am breathlessly awaiting the ‘first’ nude painting of a prominent liberal, you know, one who is equally well known in politics. We do have so many to pick from ... but considering the field I am suddenly aware of the minefield. Nudes of Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Mikulski, Maxine Waters, ... I think I need to rethink. The image of a certain White House Press Conference fixture is making me quite nauseous - PLEASE NO PICTURES!

Bruce Elliott’s a sick man. Very much a typical Leftwingtard.
