- The hands are perfect, which I only mention because hands are said to be difficult. But one leg is obviously too short; a thigh seems to have gone AWOL. Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau's portrait had the same problem. I get a sense of panic rising in the artist; it's invisible no one will notice
- Stephen Harper’s official portrait was unveiled today, 11 years after he stepped down as prime minister. How long do these portraits take to paint? Or was Harper waiting for Justin Trudeau to exit the stage before returning to the Hill for the ceremony?
- Also, it doesn't look like Stephen Harper's face. And the hair is wrong wrong all wrong. This is one bad portrait. I'm surprised Harper didn't do a Winston Churchill. I know the room is packed with the dull men of Ottawa but was there an actual unveiling and a gasp?
