The artist says Clinton was the most famous liar of all time, I wonder if after Obama he is now saying of the time ? Yes Slick Willy had trouble with the truth but I believe Obama has him beat. I wonder what Obama's portrait will be like, maybe a Koran on the Mantle?
The artist who painted the official White House portrait of President Bill Clinton says he quietly included a reference to the Monica Lewinsky scandal — and the infamous blue dress — in his painting (http://www.philly.com/philly/news/20150301_POTUS_painter_left_a_brush-off_for__42_.html).
“If you look at the left-hand side of it, there’s a mantel in the Oval Office,” Nelson Shanks told the Philadelphia Daily News (http://www.philly.com/philly/news/20150301_POTUS_painter_left_a_brush-off_for__42_.html). “I put a shadow coming into the painting, and it does two things. It actually literally represents a shadow from a blue dress I had on a mannequin, that I had there while I was painting it, but not when he was there. It is also a bit of a metaphor in that it represents a shadow on the office he held, or on him.”
The revelation of Clinton’s affair with Lewinsky, a White House intern, created a firestorm in American politics and led to the president’s impeachment in 1998.
