Source: CHEK NewsA portrait of U.S. President Donald Trump made from horse manure has become the most talked-about pieces at this year’s Sooke Fine Arts Show, and it didn’t stay on the market for long. The artwork, titled “The Don of Dung,” was created by Vancouver Island artist Wendy Chartrand using dried horse manure as its primary medium. The unconventional political portrait sold on the opening day of the exhibition for $1,800 to an anonymous buyer. Visitors were quick to speculate about the portrait’s unusual material, with some initially guessing it had been created using coffee or another monochromatic medium before learning it was made from horse manure.
