I don't think I like this portrait.
I see what the artist is trying to portary. Starting at the top and moving down, I first see a bit of "Rosie the Riveter" in it.
But the "spread legs" compromises the image. It's one thing when Rosie is wearing denim overalls. When Palin is portayed with heels and toned calves and her skirt "oh so provocatively" hiding her femininity, it is meant to be as demeaning as the campaign photos of her from the knees down.
I don't like it at all.
