Link is from Democratic Underground which portrays a beautiful Allen Family Portrait, and I'll start out with saying they do look like a lovely, happy family.....but....

Does this really represent a Virginia representative known as a Senator.  I do not think this portrait represents any of the beachy areas of Southeast Va or the Eastern Shore?

Wonkette's description of the painting (PM - 10/14/2006 12:13:16 AM)
At left, the Man Who Won’t Be President prepares to throw a “long bomb,” if you will, at, uh… the creepy one-legged ukulele player maybe. **** And they’re all trapped in some sort of hellish, washed-out, post-apocalyptic On the Beach-meets-Margaritaville scenario. A different kind of family portrait indeed.



Agree with Wonkette ! (beachydem - 10/14/2006 9:37:59 AM)
Truly bizzarro.

They paid money for someone to paint that portrait??  Can't the Allens at least have better taste in art??  This painting is terrible!


Supposedly, it's hanging in their living room? (beachydem - 10/14/2006 9:42:29 AM)
How would you "decorate" around that "theme"....LOL...especially, that it's noted, the size is 4x5 feet?


Here's the artist's page (PM - 10/14/2006 8:27:54 PM)

I know art is subjective, but this guy is terrible.



It's not even an original .... (beachydem - 10/15/2006 10:12:24 AM)
Look at this family's "portrait"

Also, note the absence of "Fox on TV".  Hmmmm, I still wonder who paid for it :)



Notice the television... (Loudoun County Dem - 10/14/2006 7:30:05 AM)
...Allen even needs Faux News on in the TV in his PORTRAIT, really sad!!!


Maybe they paid for the portrait ? (beachydem - 10/14/2006 9:47:51 AM)
Product placement?  Heh.


Oil slick (VA Breeze - 10/15/2006 12:01:11 AM)
The artist forgot to include offshore drilling rigs and the sheen of oil that Allen and Drake want.


Oh, that just begs for a photoshop! (beachydem - 10/15/2006 10:15:09 AM)
Must include Thelma...in a bikini....LOL.  Ok, I'm not that mean, maybe just a "red hand".
