Rebuilding Court Painter’s studio will take work, says Preston Manning

\n\u201cWe asked Canadians what\u2019s most important to you about the Court Painter on a scale of one to 10?\u201d said Manning, the former leader of the Reform Party.
\n\u201cHonesty, transparency, empathy, character and a new studio trumped everything else. And I think there\u2019s a lesson in that, not just for the Conservatives, but for every political party who love artists like the Conservative Party. That you can have good brush work, fine rendering skills and paintings that look like they took a lot of time, but if you don\u2019t appear to have those characteristics and inspire trust in the resale value and fair commission fees, the rest almost doesn\u2019t matter.\u201d

\nThe task of rebuilding the Court Painter’s studio is a momentous one, Manning acknowledged, and it will require coming up with building code alternatives beyond just the fiscal management that right-of-centre non objective painters tend to emphasize. The same is true of everybody who is anybody including that southern neighbour Tea Party guy the former Speaker of the House Andrew Sheer introduced as a great supporter of conservative values along with Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio.Anyway lets not digress!
\n\u201cWhat\u2019s a constructive alternative on good drawing, fine brushwork and well chosen schmoozing of subjects which are the three biggest areas of the portrait business if you\u2019re in a position of being the Court Painter,\u201d\u00a0he said. \u201cAnd what\u2019s your alternative on the sales and commission fee environment?\u201d

\nManning also addressed the rise of populist artists like Chris Cran, saying there\u2019s a danger in promoting an artist simply because he is the polar opposite of the Court Painter in looks, manners, value on the dollar and celebrity look alike Buzzfeed hits.
\n\u201cA little bit like in Banff, (which) went looking for the opposite of Grizzly Adams and got A Hardon MacKay.\u201d
