Bobby Jindal's controversial portrait being returned to Kenner owner

[TexasTowelie]

As Gov. Bobby Jindal moves out of his offices at the Louisiana Capitol, several things are coming off the walls -- including a controversial portrait of Jindal that has hung in the governor's fourth-floor reception area for years.

The painting -- which sparked a brief social media kerfuffle earlier this year that included allegations of liberal race-baiting -- was commissioned when Jindal was first elected eight years ago. It has been front and center over the reception desk in Jindal's Capitol office suite since 2008.

Now, it's being returned to Henry Shane, the New Orleans area real estate developer and art collector who owns it. Shane had loaned the portrait to the Capitol during Jindal's terms. The painting was done by local artist Tommy Yow at Shane's request.

It's not clear what the plans are for the Jindal portrait. Shane could not be reached for comment at his office or home in Kenner.

And even when I'm told it is Jindal I see no resemblance.
