I feel bad for Bush, the guy had a rough eight years no matter what side you were on. Now he's embraced a hobby and clearly loves it and has the confidence to let his paintings be shown to the world and so many people out there are just laughing at his actually decent skills.

The thing is, I doubt Bush cares overly much what people think of his work. He's never struck me as lacking self-confidence.

The guy has heard it all.

From being called Hitler to a baby killer.

After being called that, I doubt he cares what anyone thinks of his art.

He just enjoys what he is doing and he obviously likes to show of what he made and is proud of it. No different than most of us. I think that I can paint my models fairly decent and I like to take some of them down to the FLGS to get feedback and to show off what I think is good work.

This is one of my favorite pictures of "Bush the Artist":



Just a guy with a hobby, sharing what he created and trying to bring a little joy to others.

That's a pretty cool photo. Very human.
