For a "late vocation", he's not bad at all.

Painting is not something you learn overnight, it's a process. Usually you don't see the early stages because by the time you see artists' work they are farther along in the learning process.

He's got a good 'eye', and the knack of capturing a likeness - which is not an easy thing to do at all. His brush can't yet quite DO what he can SEE. That takes years.

I love his paintings — he is on a learning curve but who isn’t when they decide to take on a new challenge? The Putin portrait truly does reveal Putin’s soul. Dark, calculating and untrustworthy. I believe that Bush has talent.
