I'm no art sophisticate or anything, but I know what I like. And as much as I didn't like George W Bush's spending and government expansion, I DO like his work in watercolors- the guy is good-

But if you're surprised, so's Dubya... he had no idea he could paint: seems about a year ago he did some 'doodling' to explain something to the Bush daughters at the ranch one day, and and lo-and-behold a family friend in the art business told him he may have a hidden talent.

Bush had read a book by Winston Churchill on amateur painting, and took the lessons in it to heart: now just a few months later, a few pieces of his were submitted to the Dallas Morning News and published in the ramp-up to the Bush Library opening today... color me impressed!

More at the Dallas Morning News...

In the movie AN AMERICAN IN PARIS, Gene Kelly walks pased an artist who looks like Churchill who is painting.

Churchill was British. Obama hates British. Bush paints, there fore Obama hates Bush.

I like his paintings. Even though the perspectives are off, the informality as a result, in each one, leaves one with feeling of friendly pleasantness! They are comfortable, at ease and welcoming to the viewer. Somehow, I think that’s his personality and that’s what shines through his work!

Well said, Lady. I get the same sense of peace from Dubya’s paintings.

But nobody ever said a bad word about Winston Churchill, did they? No! "Win with Winnie!" Churchill! With his cigars, with his brandy. And his ROTTEN painting! ROTTEN! Hitler, THERE was a painter! He could paint an entire apartment in one afternoon! TWO COATS!
