A portrait of President Donald Trump painted using a mixture of horse manure and water has sold on the first day it was exhibited.
Vancouver Island artist Wendy Chartrand‘s painting ‘The Don of Dung’ was accepted to the Sooke Fine Arts Show, and sold for $1,800, almost immediately.
You can’t do anything about it often, so you might as well laugh,” she said at the art show opening.
The executive director of the art show stood by the inclusion of the piece.
“The Sooke Fine Arts Show has celebrated artistic excellence for 40 years, and we’ve had many provocative pieces that reflected the social and political events of their time,” executive director Jen Hayward said.
