It takes political transparency to a whole new level.
Canadians got an eyeful Friday as images of a painting depicting the prime minister in the nude went viral.
The large oil on canvas, which Stephen Harper did not pose for, is by Kingston, Ont.,-based artist Margaret Sutherland.
It shows the prime minister reclining on a chaise lounge wearing nothing but a subtle smile, surrounded by people in suits, whose faces can't be seen. A dog rests at his feet as a woman in business attire offers him what looks like a Tim Hortons cup on a silver platter.
The piece appeared to draw out the art critic in many Canucks.STORY:http://ca.news.yahoo.com/baring-painting-prime-minister-nude-causes-stir-161037709.htmlVIDEO:http://ca.news.yahoo.com/video/canews-22424922/nude-harper-portrait-makes-a-stir-29342442.html
