Portland artist uses period blood for Trump portrait

Portland artist uses period blood for Trump portrait

PORTLAND, Ore. – A Portland artist's unusual painting is making national headlines.

It's not just because of who it portrays. It's also because of the medium.

The painting is a portrait of the current leader of the Republican presidential primary race, Donald Trump – painted with menstrual blood.

Artist Sarah Levy titled the portrait "Whatever." It depicts Trump mid-sentence with one eye completely blotted out by red and his infamous hair windswept with streaks of dark blood.
