Political handbagging of Tony Abbott

 From the series 

IT'S A DRAG BEING FAMOUS

Both sides of Tony Abbott
This work was inspired after David Marr's, "wall punching allegation." Can Tony Abbott deal with women in authority? The caricature of "Punching Tony" behind his feminine side (caricatured as Julia Gillard) belies his ambition to be Prime Minister. 
This humorous portrait is painted by Jeffrey Kelson. Jeffrey teaches portrait painting to private students as well as in schools and enters the Archibald each year. See his web site:- www.jeffreykelson.vpweb.com.au. The work is painted in mixed media on hardboard, 900x600mm. You can buy it on EBay for $200.
