Just thought i would share a paintimg I found at my local art store. I really enjoyed seeing it and hope to buy one for my office soon.

Its kinda nice to take a break and remember who we Republicans are.

[sageb1]

That’s neat. Thanks for sharing!

[squidly]

I can’t place the guy at bottom right.

[normy]

Ford.

[sageb1]

What store and how much are they asking? Curious to see if they are online.

[zerosix]

WOW!!!

Who is the artist?

How much is it????

Are there any prints available?

[normy]

The actual painting is fantastic. Its around $500 unframed so I will need a real good month to splurge on it, but I will buy it.

So, who’s the guy with his back turned?

[MarineBrat]

Oh, to be a fly on the wall...

[carjic]

149 USD

[Tijeras_Slim]

Abe

[Clint N. Suhks]

GOG?

[normy]

The guys name is Andy Thomas I think. Presidentialart.com is the web site I think.

Dammit, now everyone is gonna have one! ;0)

[MarineBrat]

Looks like Honest Abe to me.

[normy]

Lincoln!

[Clint N. Suhks]

That’s who I thought it was too.

[normy]

Thats what I thought.

[Sybeck1]

McCain must be a beer run.

[Sybeck1]

McCain must be a beer run.

[Mike Darancette]

Nixon isn’t cheating? :)

[Sybeck1]

McCain must be a beer run.

Could it be Lincoln with his back turned in the GOP version?

And Jackson with his back turned in the Democratic version?

[lapster]

Great piece of artwork. Thanks. The other guys better be careful — Nixon was known as quite a card shark during his days in the South Pacific in WWII.

[sageb1]

lol!

http://presidentart.com/

One for the Dems too.

[normy]

Think tricky Dick is cleaning house?

[zerosix]

Many thanks. For others: limited ed. unframed prints are $149.50

[sageb1]

Dems

[normy]

Yeah, the Dem version is cool too except Slick Willie is their focal point like Ron is in ours. You would think Kennedy or FDR would have been the focal point.

Yeah thats Jackson alright.

[Archytekt]

[Moose4]

Yeah, that’s definitely Andrew Jackson in the Democratic painting. I love the look that Wilson is shooting LBJ in that one...sort of like “you’re OUT already, Lyndon, quit looking over my shoulder at my cards!”

[normy]

Thanks!

[Hoffer Rand]

I think it looks like LBJ is about to lip lock Wilson.

[lapster]

I think LBJ is telling Wilson, “Just tell that putz Carter you’re playing Old Maids and you can take him for every cent he’s got. Then, let’s send him out for a left-handed smoke shifter.”

[normy]

Notice Ron has a bowl of jelly beans next to him?

[MarineBrat]

Think tricky Dick is cleaning house?

I'd probably put my $ on Nixon, but of all the presidents depicted, he's the one I'd least like to play a round of golf with. :) My golf partner preference...

Lincoln
Reagan
Roosevelt
Eisenhower
Ford
Bush II
Bush I
Nixon

This is not necessarily in order of how good a president I think they were/are, but simply the order of how interesting a conversation I think I could have with them.

[TNCMAXQ]

Kind of nice. But it is missing one of my favorite presidents, Calvin Coolidge.

[normy]

I think I would go

Teddy

Reagan

Abe

Ike

Bush II

Bush I

Nixon

Ford

The top three are tough. I think Teddy would be a blast, plus he would have some amazing stories.

I have the photograph of the Roughriders on my office wall. I love the character in the faces of those guys.

[FoxInSocks]

Notice Ron has a bowl of jelly beans next to him?

I think they're Jelly Bellies^®.    :-)

[Theresawithanh]

Waaaaay cool! Thanks, normy.

[normy]

Your welcome!

[savedbygrace]

Clinton just stole Wilson’s chips.

[GravityFree]

Looks like Bill O’Reilly talking to Woodrow Wilson. I’m thinking it’s actually supposed to be LBJ.

[robomatik]

the cowboy hat in the mid to top left is a nice touch too

[robomatik]

also, notice that in the dem pic it looks like they are playing on a wharf. note the shipping crates on the left.

[normy]

nice. I didn’t notice that.
