Go away........ far away
I wish it weren’t the case, but the paintings are terrible.
“So this is what it takes to get his name back in the media, not in a negative way?”
Maybe it is a cleaver way to soften the media to the idea to Jeb Bush and 2016.

Sorry. It is a fact that W’s playing pattycake with zero on the TARP matter, as well as McCain throwing the election, has landed you with an islamic/communist dictator - and you’re still pathetically licking the whip.
“Thank you sir, may I have another?” seems to be the order of the day.
“How did the emails get hacked? “
I think it was a family member’s email that got hacked, but it is still quite a breach of privacy.
Nevertheless the paintings are OK, even a little “edgy” what with the whole self portrait while bathing thing going on. I mean, that’s different!
And really, he captures himself quite well. I’d like to see what else he’s done. Maybe someone can get up a gallery show or something.
Not awful, but any commerical value would be attached to the name, and not the merit of the art.
No, I agree. It is a bit high schoolish, but there are elements that just nudge it above that. For someone who (as I understand) is just picking this up, it’s not bad. There is some “flatness” that makes it mediocre. Anyway...
The subject matter is most curious. I'll have to reserve judgement, until I see what his paintings look like on velvet.
