Napoleon Sarkozy

Tonight I have a manipulated caricature of French President Nicolas Sarkozy as Napoleon Bonaparte in the famous painting by French Painter Jacques-Louis David, which was requested by a dear friend of mine from France. This one's for you Sylvia! I tried to find a French poodle in keeping with the French theme but couldn't find any good ones. I altered the painting just a bit as well as I did Sarkozy who made a great model. I had a lot of fun with the body and the puppy. I couldn't resist the puppy epaulettes. I hope he likes it. Sorry I couldn't do the First Lady Sylvia, she's just too pretty. I've posted the source images below.










Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day and be inspired!
