The painting looks very much like it’d be hidden away in the “embarrassed to hang it” section of a Rotary or Lions club art show. Not because it’s nude, but because it’s not very good. The only remarkable thing about it is it’s subject, and I suppose it’s creator is banking on that.

Please-oh-please-oh-please don’t let anyone decide to make things fair and balanced by depicting McCain in a nude pin-up pose! Yeesh, what am I talking about? It’s certain to exist somewhere on the internet.

LOL! I agree, although apparently his daughter was a good match. I’d say the discrepancy is because the artist painted sections of the painting at a time, rather than the whole (never a good idea if you want a cohesive piece!)

Does the face even match the body? It’s almost like one of them Photoshop jobs (or scissors and paste), where you put a head on a random body…
