His portrait of Putin is excellent, really. Captures his craven, calculating personality. Surprised that W missed that when they first met and he said all that "looked into his soul" nonsense.
He's OK. Like a talented art student, he does some work that is startlingly good but most of it is not. His Putin and self-portrait are in the first category.
But he was a much better president than most people give him credit for.

I assume he uses oil based paints.

Or, Angus is a very poor judge of excellent artists: take your pick.
