One bleeding-heart type asked me in a recent interview if I did not
agree that "violence begets violence." I told him that it is my
earnest endeavor to see that it does. I would like very much to ensure
- and in some cases I have - that any man who offers violence to his
fellow citizen begets a whole lot more in return than he can enjoy.

As a responder on the site suggested, Ms. Gimenez's version could
be a much more realistic portrait than the original. Who knows?

(She probably got the tan right, anyways.)

... I think the original artist did capture
"The Abdication of Christ at the First Feast of the Ascension
Pie Fight" rather well.

Many, many years ago my aunt bought a nice painting on a bronze easel
from an estate. An appraiser said it was special and would be worth
more if the easel wasn't broken...part of an ornate casting was broken.
Auntie asked me to look at it and possibly repair it. I brazed the
casting and carefully "carved" it to the original look then matched the
patina (I won't tell how). The appraiser was floored! Since then he
has had me do a job for him every couple of years saying I was one of
the best restorers he's seen in 50 years. I really enjoy the work and
it IS metalworking! I've fantasized about being a full-time art
restorer in my retirement.

"has not ruled out legal action"
Typical.
