Bush: Self Portraitist

“Greatest Living President is Also Fantastic Painter”.   Lots of symbolism plagues the imagery abounds in this George W Bush self portrait.  First of all, obviously he finds himself standing naked — in front of a shower — or, if you will, a stand-in for his Father.  His Father who we see chiding him for destroying the Family Dynasty (which we see references to in the various gray knobs the water is pouring onto).  What we see in the mirror, though is this certain determination to defend his honor– a snide reaction he’s preparing to lob out –“At least I got myself re-elected, Fly-Boy.”

Or maybe I’m reading stuff into this.
