Neocon Series: Rice. A One Day Painting.

Dammit, every time I load the page I see the picture for a moment, and then I get a little black bar.

It's not giving me a problem

Nice stuff Dennis .. I like Cheneys snarl

Yes .. It's Rice

Dennis-She kind of looks like a vampire (bloodsucker if you will).

mmmm she's kinda hot.

in a ghoulish dead person kind of way.

matches her personality to a T

Dennis, i don't think you'll be able sell this one.. its just too close and accurate (read that as "freeking creepy")

there i fixed it

she appears as the skinny, crackhead nutcase that she is...ha..nice work

Dennis,

I had the same thing happen to me on an article when she went dead for about 12 hours after I had about 20 comments, and then poof up she came again, but pretty much killed the effort.

Rice is probably the creepiest of the bunch, rah rah cheerleader type, and her overbearing righteous obfuscations are a bizarre out cropping of the weird stepford women of this administration. Has anyone else noticed that?

Nice work Dennis, but I just can't look.....shivers, perhaps you could sell it to the House of Horrors.

Dennis I'll bite what the hell is the green for...but stop making me look...

Whoa! Dennis, I had no idea. These are all fantastic. I'm not much of an art critic (unless it's music or film), so I can't really give you anything more constructive than that, but I will say that I wouldn't mind having all three hanging on my wall. But don't take that as an offer to buy them, because I'm poor.

the painting si much too flattering.... i would have preffered to see more fangs and sublime esoteric evidence of her 'manchurian' and/or 'mk ultra' past.

Dennis, this is a great piece of work. Can I use the Cheney one as a poster for a documentary I will be shooting in late 2008, early 2009?

Dennis - another great painting of evil incarnate. If you wanted to be bi-partisan you could add Madeleine "the price was worth it" Albright to your list of monsters (when questioned back in 1999 about half a million Iraqi infant deaths due to Sanctions she famously stated "the price was worth it" ).

Dr Rice (aka Wicked Witch of the West or Dr Death) is intimately complicit in post-invasion excess deaths of 0.9 million in the Occupied Iraqi Territories and 2.1 million in the Occupied Afghan Territories; the post-invasion under-5 infant deaths currently total 0.4 million and 1.7 million, respectively, for Occupied Iraq and Occupied Afghanistan (see: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/10528/42/ ) .

Allomothering is the general term for care for other people's children - in the case of females it is called aunt behaviour and is a feature of social primates such as apes, monkeys and man. Childless Dr Rice has grossly violated this fundamental primate behavioural imperative (as well as the Geneva, Universal Human Rights, and Rights of the Child Conventions) through her intimate complicity in mass infanticide, mass paedocide and mass murder - utter evil for which she and her confreres (Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Blair, Howard etc) should be arraigned before the International Criminal Court.

Seen in that light (noting that these UN and medical literature data are not reported by racist, lying, holocaust-denying, anti-Arab anti-Semitic, Islamophobic Mainstream media) the painting is an exceptionally powerful statement.

The colours are fantastic.

Red, green yellow: hot, tropical, exotic, dangerous, blood, Gila monster, green slime, poisonous snake, sex plus danger; deadly seeds and animals often advertise their threat by such bright colours(e.g. deadly castor oil seeds, some spiders, Gila monster,the Blue Octopus, the Red-back spider).

Violet face, sick evil yellow eyes, blue lips, red streaks, ruthless determination - reptilian, alien, like the Jurassic Park raptors, aliens from Dr Who, Heinlein or Asimov; deadly attractiveness, "jail bait", sexuality and evil.

The painting presents alien, reptilian, evil as a fascinating, witch-like monster. The fangs are hidden behind blue pursed lips.

The Bush-ite coven (?) of evil warlocks has this Wicked Witch of the West aka Dr Death as its spokesperson and emissary of death, seducing the immoral, male, middle-aged political leaders of the world with a combination of exotic but unattainable sexual allure and unspeakable, sibilant threat of unspeakable mass murder (from memory, she once stated at a news conference in London shortly after being sworn in as S of S: "we don't have plans to attack Iran at the moment" (i.e. killing millions of Iranians is contemplated but not just yet).

Great painting of another monster.

Like "Cheney" and "Rumsfeld", this painting has great beauty - but much more so because Dr Death is female, like Morgana La Fey, a long-legged, sloe-eyed, female Jurassic Park Raptor, a salome (demanding the heads of children) or Medea of Cochis - raising the paradox of beauty in evil. In contrast, my painting "Manhattan Madonna" devolves about the same subject matter (see: http://mwcnews.net/content/view/10766/26/ and Newsvine
link ) but attempts to present the physical and spiritual beauty of Mother and Child transcending the greatest works of man (e.g. Manhattan) and the worst works of Man (e.g. 9/11 and the post-9/11 Bush Wars that have appallingly taken 3.6 million lives). My approach is "nicer" but your approach in this painting is devastatingly effective.

She visited London when I was working there. I almost saw her, but she was too sneaky for me.

Another thought provoking painting about someone I hadn't previously thought that much about.

I love the painting. Unlike one prior poster, I actually think it's a little bit too evil. :) I remember thinking when you listed Rice as a future victim, that she would be more difficult then Rumsfeld or Cheney, because to me at least, she has a much less identifiable personality. In fact, it's difficult for me to even come up with suitable adjectives for her. Maybe that's just me though.

It's a great painting, but somehow it just doesn't seem like her. She isn't that cold. (Physical appearance wise anyway.)

Now if you combined this work (wonderful, wonderful work) with her very surprisingly soothing voice, THAT would be creepy...

Dennis,

I would suggest an extreme left series next (Dean, Michael Moore -- just brainstorming names)

Dennis, you've just won USDA approval.

You gave her a Michael Jackson nose.

You know, when I look at your Neocon series as a whole (will there be more?), it's a great representation of all the anger, chaos, disagreement and general confusion that makes up our current government.

Ewwww.
