A Painting Of Al Franken With A Pancake On His Head

A new painting of Minnesota Senator Al Franken with a pancake on his head-

Al

Al attempts to blend into and become a part of a placid watery landscape, surrounded by islands of syrup which do not proceed very deep into the distance, seem unnatural to the surface of the water, and might change shape if he were to move. The pancake on top of his head assumes the shape of his hair, again-attempting incongruity but failing.  Syrup from the pancake runs to both the political right and left-fairness is the message which Senator Franken wishes to communicate. However, the water level is higher behind Al, showing that his presence creates a blockage and hides an imbalance. The general atmosphere is of stagnancy.
