These 64 small oil paintings on wood panels (6 inches by 6 inches) comprise one work. They represent areas of faces of people in the last administration, their media and financial sponsors, and others who were influential within that administration. I've always been a news junkie, but I've been obsessed with politics these last several years, and I chose to work out my obsession visually with what I see as aberrant behavior from the right.

Aside from the political content, I've always loved painting people, but I'm not currently interested in narratives or straight portraiture. So it was both fun and interesting for me to choose parts of people's faces and concentrate on the telling facial expressions affected by emotion, light, or an untimely photograph.

Many of these people the viewer will recognize, but probably not all of them. That's part of the fun, part of the game as well, guessing who some of these people might be.
