Like
millions of Americans I remain grateful to Bill Clinton for
his service to the country and his work to make our nation a
better place for all.
When I saw the
Robert McNeely photograph in the recent book "The Clinton
Years" I knew I had found a way to say thank you.
The 28" x 22"
oil on panel is nearly completed and it is taking on
the look and feel of something I can feel proud about
creating. I have been giving some
thought to images on the outside but I believe I will allow it to
remain as is, just simple sunlight streaming into the White
House. Something the Bush administration could use a good
dose of, but alas, I'm not a politician, just a simple
artist. ( and I vote!)
I intend to
donate this painting to the Clinton Library or the family.
Personally, I would be pleased if the painting made its way
to the Clinton Peace Center in Enniskillen, a city where it
was necessary to cross into the North to get to Dublin from
where I lived in Ireland, but I'd be just as proud if it
went over someone's mantle in New York or Arkansas.
As of this
posting the title still evades me, but it will certainly be
end up something akin to "Thank you, Mr.
President"
