T O P I C R E V I E WAcousticGodJeb Bush on George’s Paintings: He Would Like to Paint Your Dog, ProbablyLast week, hacker Guccifer, revealed more of George W. Bush's newfound love of painting (or method of therapy. Whichever.), releasing six new photographs of his work that ranged from still life to animal portraits.And it gets better.Jeb Bush, who admits to being surprised when learning about his brother's hobby after finding out about it a year ago, told CNN's Jake Tapper that the former president is painting dogs "with a vengeance," saying, "He's actually become a pretty good painter."According to Jeb, there's a good chance that Tapper, who is a former White House correspondent for ABC News, could someday be the owner of his very own Bush painting. "If you've got a dog, I'm sure based on your past relationship, he would like to paint it," he said.In the meantime, we can all sit patiently while we wait for the inevitable Etsy shop. http://gawker.com/5992120/jeb-bush-on-georges-paintings-he-would-like-to-paint-your-dog-probably For more paintings, see the original article: http://gawker.com/5991732/a-watermelon-a-golf-course-a-horse-and-monstrous-dogs-12-new-paintings-from-george-w-bush katatonicIt's true then, he is an alien!

The whole thing is kind of ...oddly adorable. juniperbI guess I give him credit where credit is due as he did finish his paintings... but folks, there`s something inherently wrong with those mutant critters What the heck is he trying to get across to us? quote:The behind-bars-dog is disturbing.

And it gets better.
Jeb Bush, who admits to being surprised when learning about his brother's hobby after finding out about it a year ago, told CNN's Jake Tapper that the former president is painting dogs "with a vengeance," saying, "He's actually become a pretty good painter."
