Senator Clinton had her share of antagonists long before she became one
of America’s most talked-about First Ladies. Hillary has been attacked
for everything from her hairstyles to her ambition. Her story is not over
yet.
Sometimes my ideas for paintings come in dreams;
this one came in a particularly peculiar one. I was talking on an outdoor
pay phone to Betty Ford discussing her portrait, when a fast-walking Hillary
came purposely striding around the corner. I barely had time to shout
over my shoulder, “Hey Hillary, how would you like your painting?”
She replied, “Fishbowl.”
