  1. Considering it’s Barney Bush the only possible ’43’ is Geo W. I had no idea he could paint!

  2. Hmm, white President, black dog, New Orleans, Romney Dog on roof, cancer…It’s coming together. You’re all racists.

  3. Carl in Atlanta…Me too, Brutha!! A true patriot. Strength of character, follow-thru to the hilt, spiritual and humble..AND, a Resolute American Warrior at precisely the time we needed him.

    And, Barney loved him, Big Time.

  4. Not bad for a prosimian cipher. I just read the other day our cretinous ex-president was stumbling about in a drunken stupor on his dusty ranch, shooting at pop bottles with his AR15, slapping Laura around, and singing cowboy songs to the barn animals.

  5. Sigh. I do have a black Malti-poo, and he is the dearest, sweetest fifteen-pound companion animal, but I have never been able to take a good picture of him. Here I just thought he was the Sue Heck of dogs. Now you tell me that black dogs are hard to photograph. But I’ve never had a problem photographing black cats…

  6. One of our dogs is a Schipperke. She is a really big little black dog and likewise difficult to photograph. She is the most intelligent, easily trained dog we have ever had in our family. Long may she run. And her tail was never bobbed and curls over her hindquarters. She’s my baby.

  7. Is it just me or does something about the dog’s face/eyes remind anyone else of Pres. Bush? Seriously! And I don’t mean this in any sort of insulting way.

  8. W is a very decent man and, according to my painterly wife, a good painter if this portrait is any indication . Too bad he was a mediocre POTUS in many respects. If he’d treated the Dems in the House as Hussein treats the Repubs now, and had had a better Cabinet- Gonzalez comes to mind- we’d be in better shape.

  9. Obama could do art like that with the automated signing pen. What difference does it make!

  10. Aww, Barney was a little cutie and the Bush’s obviously love their animals very much. Who knew W could paint!

    Black (anything dark really) is difficult to record accurately. I love photographing the people of the Caribbean because they are so beautiful and surround themselves with such vibrant colors. It’s a struggle to do them justice, though, unless the lighting is just right. Painters are lucky because they can add highlights as W has done.

  11. I remember once watching Dubya climb aboard Marine I with his arms full of dogs (it was before Spot died). The guard of course saluted but the president had no way to return the salute. A few seconds after he disappeared inside, he came back out, tapped the Marine on the shoulder and returned his salute. You could see the Marine just swell with pride. It was two lovely moments: the dog lover and the Commander-in-Chief.
