Artist's Comments

20inx26 oil paint on linen.
Once again I will post a better photo as soon as I can.. The colors are so dull in this reproduction:(

I debated over and over whether or not to call this "Politic's Are Dirty."

This refers to the Republicans of the current administration.

The man represents a greedy republican, and I represent a democrat. The democrat has lost to a game of chess.. The republican may have cheated just like they did in the last election.
The republican has a 7 of diamonds in his hand representing greed and how Bush often uses god as an excuse for going to war. It is also 7 o'clock. The Moet champagne also represents greed and the cat represents bad luck. The owl in the woodwork is also a demeaning sign.. and the painting in the background is an allusion to what is going on in the picture.. 'An angel being mischievous.'

Daily Deviation

Given 2008-04-14

Republican's Are Dirty by *InsAnnaty is a brilliant political work, that shows corruption and greed that runs through any branch of politics. "This work is a great commentary on our times. This painting has great symbolic content, is detailed, has a nice composition and uses traditional techniques." (Suggested by *jjackm and Featured by `sbaraci)

great work as always. one question - is it a bouguereau's reproduction there painted? looks like one of his paintings, mind if i ask why? i guess it must have some meaning for iconography of this painting :)

Absolutely brilliant on every level. It is my kind of painting, truly inspirational and I don't inspire easily. It is your best yet IMHO.
