I referenced a photo by @_marchayden for this work. After painting the subject, I added some strokes that surprised me. The work made me think about what Jesus Christ said to a community of people denigrating a woman for her sexual promiscuity, as they were about to stone her to death. Said Jesus:
"He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone at her." [John 8:7]
A stark contrast to an interview that misogynist Vladimir Putin recently gave in his effort to defend misogynist Trump. A defense at the cost of denigrating women on so many levels. Said Putin:
"[Trump is] has been involved with beauty contests for many years and has met the most beautiful women in the world. I find it hard to believe that he rushed to some hotel to meet girls of loose morals, although ours are undoubtedly the best in the world."
