Yup, he's worse than Hitler.
Okay, most would agree that his paintings are, well, terrible. And there's nothing wrong with that - learning to paint is a good hobby and good for him to have started.
And I kinda like the self-portrait in shower. In has a touch of the great American realism, and even if it technically looks like a junior high-school attempt at creating something hopperesque the painting is interesting to look at. There's an air of both comedy and tragedy present. And knowing the painter it has many levels of meaning and contrast to read into it: solitude of an ex-executive turning his back to us but still looking back at us through a rear view mirror, a naked regular guy - usually symbolizing nothing to hide - but now turned around as if hiding something, the act of washing which is a regular thing to do but now becomes more of a symbolic act...
I hope that in the future he abandons the cats and dogs and revisits the bathroom series.
