Post artwork from famous people who were not artists. It doesn’t need to be good…actually the worse, the better. World leaders often decompress using paint and canvas. Winston Churchill Churchill seems inspired by neo-Impressionism. I like his color saturation, the Tuscan lighting is skewed just a bit. The mincing trees in the the middle painting are treated as kind friends. Nice. Complex art from a complex thinker. And that floating furniture, perfection.

Dwight Eisenhower The President leans into the Bob Ross school. His bland tranquil landscapes are banal attempts at peace from this great warrior. His portrait of Bobby Jones though is intense. There’s a man at the top of his game, but serious as hell. He knew people.

George W Bush W has genuine talent in my opinion. I’m taken with his portraits. His eye is good and he can be honest. He captures the paint-by-numbers concept.

When he’s not tottering around and mumbling about things Prince Charles likes to paint landscapes.

When he’s not tottering around and mumbling about things Prince Charles likes to paint landscapes. Not very impressed by that. 1. Why would you paint something that is so much in shadow? 2. Given the length of the shadows in the background layer (not very long), there's no reason the foreground should be in so much shadow.

Tony Curtis Expressionism informs Curtis’s work with some of Toulouse-Lautrec whimsy. I don’t think Monroe was every that happy.

Flannery O’Connor l O’Connor uses sardonic humor in her Thurber-eques cartoons she usually turned on herself. I like her initials turned into playful sigil of a cat on a fence.

Tim Spall has played a couple of artists (Turner and Lowry) but he’s also knocked out a few paintings.

That middle one is either disturbing or telling. The victim resembles himself. No, the victim is one of the people his regime tortured.
