The people of the UK have
spoken; the metaphorical brooms are still out sweeping away the remaining detritus
from Brexit and MP’s are left scuttling
passed reporters and cameras. Some of the political rats are choosing to
jump from their respective ships, others opting to stay on board to cannibalise
their captains before feasting upon each other. Needless to say, it has all
manifested into an extremely low budget version of ‘House of Cards’ with sketchy
production values and very poor acting.
Rant over, just needed to
vent for a second. Back in 2014 I painted a set of political portraits entitled
‘The Machiavellian Boy Scouts and the Haphazard Art of Misdirection’. Four of the subjects for these paintings
David Cameron, Ed Milliband, Nick Clegg and Nigel Farage have all since jumped
or have been pushed, politically speaking from the leadership of their
respective parties. It seems that we are waiting for yet another head to roll.
How long will Jeremy Corbyn’s finger be able to plug the dam and stave off the
reality of a political drowning, only time will tell. I finished painting Corbyn’s
portrait and thought it would be an ideal time to post a few images before the guillotine
falls.
