Fascinating that a member of the party that voted for a tax law that put us "trillions of dollars in debt" now wants to save a few bucks at the expense of the arts. I'll agree. Oil paintings date from a time when photography didn't exist. Let our elected federal officials sit for a $500 photo portrait and consign the $40k savings to the needy living in boxes and broken old camping tents. They need the money more than we need stylized oil paintings
