But in person he’s petulant and angry. He doesn’t have a Bush grandfatherly kindness or Obama enthusiasm and energy vein she could tap into. He’s soul is really a mean, petulant, nasty, get retribution, small minded place. You can’t capture humanity that just isn’t there. Would you have preferred he captured the mean, nasty soul? I know you wanted her to just invent this likable, empathetic person for a portrait. But that isn’t him. At lead she made him look serious and statesmanlike. Because even that is a yugggggeee stretch. |
I love you. |
I read an article this morning with the background (GOP funded, GOP okayed the painter, GOP provided the photo he wanted her to go off of GOP accepted the photo, did the ceremony and hung it, so leave Dems out of it). She does the official portraits for Colorado after the guy who had done them back to about Carter died. She also did Obama. Which no one has seen or cares about, because Obama has better things to do than rage tweet about a portrait in a statehouse. No one would have seen this or care if he would focus for 2 minute of social security or the economy or anything of substance. |
How/Why does he have time for this crap? It’s so obvious the man doesn’t do anything but golf, rage tweet, and chat with his bestie Elon.
Who is running the White House as it sure isn’t Trump |
PP here. I'm no Trump fan and don't really care about his portraits and what they convey. I do know that she painted his face in an amaterish way. Evidently, she doesn't know how to paint eyes and noses. I would be embarrassed to say I painted in that way and put my name on it. |
He wants a portrait that makes him look like a macho superhero like his cult members create. |
Thank you for the laughs, DCUM. I have really enjoyed this thread. |
Those eyes and nose are much more flattering than the ones he actually has |
Actually Trump looks better in that portrait than he does on camera. |
Yes In realize life, he looks like an evil spirit |
Artist can’t create what doesn’t exist, in his mind he think he is a handsome boy but we all know he is delusional. This portrait is an extremely generous representation of what is really there. |
Mediocre is what she saw, and that is being generous! |
Trump is a poorly done human being, so it’s fine. |
Trump looks like the Dorian Gray in the portrait in the attic. You can see the evil in the orange goo he sweats. |
She just filled out his wrinkles. |
