Anyone who watched the evening news in Houston was thinking about GHWB’s funeral. The man was in the hospital for over 2 months with a cough. I never expected him to get out. GWB’s art work is funny, I would love to end up in an art class with him one day. Not gonna happen but it would be so much fun.
Heck, the subject matter of those paintings may not even be the point. He may have just been exploring how to paint different types of water.
My grandmother went on a kick of painting all sorts of objects in melting blocks of ice for a while. She was a very fine still life artist but she painted for herself trying to perfect the capture of mundane details of light and water. Her subject choices were chose by the challenge they presented, didn’t have anything to do with the subject itself.
And while she was painting, the outside world was on hold.
George H.W. Bush served his country well. In fact he is still serving. Because he fought on and survived his December health crisis the blood suckers at the IRS will get a larger share of his estate at some later date. I hope that it is at a much later date.
