“Never paint your wife or your mother” : Here’s Some Painting Advice From George W. Bush

George W. Bush, who has taken up painting as his main hobby since leaving office in 2009, has some tips for aspiring painters: “Never paint your wife or your mother.”

Bush’s new book about his father includes a portrait he painted of his dad, the 41st president.

George W. Bush tells CNN’s “State of the Union” that “I think it’s nice,” but his tough-to-please mother “kind of wasn’t” happy with it.

The 43rd president also painted his wife, Laura. The verdict?

She didn’t like it and neither did one of their daughters, “so I just scrapped it.”

Well, maybe not.

“I may have saved it although they probably think I destroyed it.”
Bush has said that an essay by Winston Churchill on painting inspired him to take lessons after leaving office.
