This seriously feels like an April Fools Day joke but I guess it is real.

Quote:
Bush had no interest in painting until leaving the White House and reading Winston Churchill’s essay “Painting as a Pastime.” His earliest works included quick drawings made for family members with an iPad app.
“I wanted to make sure the last chapters of my life were full, and painting, it turns out, has helped occupy not only space but opened my mind,” Bush said.
“I paint a lot because, as you know, I’m a driven person and I want to get better. A whole new world has opened up.”
Bush, 67, said he was reluctant to display his work but hoped the exhibit, which will run through June 4, will create interest in his presidential library.

Can't help but think of this painting when viewing Bush's Gallery.
