Standing Firm for Future Generations
41st President of the United States

and arranged with special lighting
in the studio by the artist, in order
to be able to observe and paint as
much as possible from life.

TESTIMONIAL
"This portrait has soul"
"In my opinion and as one who
has visited there many times
down through the years, there
are none better at the National
Portrait Gallery in Washington,
D.C. than Mike McVaugh's
portrait of President George
Herbert Walker Bush.  This
portrait has soul."
