This painting features a realistic representation of Michele Bachmann's face contrasted against an unrealistic presentation of her bosom, which have crosses for nipples and are shooting laser beams. This contrast represents the dichotomy between Mrs. Bachmann's private life as a Christian versus her own public presentation of her faith. The darker shadows on her face could be mistaken for a five o'clock shadow; this is to accentuate her gender-opposite and untraditional role in promoting the gospel. Her eyes which have been much in the news recently are neutralized in my painting; Michele is instead interacting with the world via the twin orbs of her faith. Her breasts represent the old and new testaments; the laser beams are Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John. The laser beams are just starting to fire; they are in the process of gaining in intensity.
