Description:
This painting is a portrait of John Kerry as he is, rather than as he portrays himself. He is a two-faced opportunist who will say anything to get a vote or advance his cause. He says what he thinks the target audience wants to hear, which is often the opposite of a stand he took with another audience just a short time before on the same topic. There is very little that he seems to have a concrete opinion of, other than the Iraq war being wrong (although the reasons are various and contradictory) and all the other rich guys are evil, but he's just an everyday Joe. His opinions are so conflicting and diverse as to be incomprehensible. I originally intended to include quotes in this painting, but there are too many to choose from. You can find them easily if you do a little research of your own.
Some suggested articles to get you on your way are listed below. Although they were not the inspiration for this piece (Kerry is all the inspiration I needed), they illustrate the point I am making.
