Cowan has painted the crowned heads of Europe, the legends of stage and screen, and three U.S. Presidents, but traces his long career back to his earliest years in Portsmouth, Virginia, where he first picked up a brush at the age of four. By the time he turned 16, Cowan moved to New York to make his mark as an artist. After a stint in the Army, he wound up in California, determined to paint the movie stars he adored as a child at Saturday matinees.
This is Mark C. Deren, he appears to be the model for Trump’s body.
Mark likes to take pictures of himself in front of paintings of himself. I’m sure he’s a wonderful man. I have no reason to disparage him.
Nobody ever accused Trump of having taste.
Here’s a bio and a business web page for the body double that Cowan apparently used for Trump’s painting.
