Wedding Portrait by Shel St Clair /bradley

Image
Finished and framed. Working on a  portrait in my True Love series. This is his present to her for their 10th anniversary.   I started a new wedding portrait today. I know all artists suffer but do any of them have a cat that thinks he can draw? Senior Gato sits here demanding I give him my pencil. Nay, I have made that mistake before. His talent lies in killing lizards, not art. #cats #portrait #portraits #portraitartistoftheyear #artists   # customportraitpainting   # customportraitdrawing   # portraitpaintings   # portraitartist   # portraitartists   # shelstclair

TWO GREAT MEN, JACKSON AND TRUMP - by Shel St Clair

Image
TWO GREAT MEN, JACKSON AND TRUMP by Shel St Clair I am currently re-reading American Lion by Jon Meacham . It’s a biography about President Andrew Jackson. Woah Cowboy, before any of you leftie commenters start trashing Jackson, I need to say, I don’t care about your opinion. Really. He is a personal hero of mine. (Yes, I know about the Trail of Tears.) Jackson, as a man, triumphs in the nature of his character, will and accomplishments over even the disasters of his era. I am re-reading it because President Trump has always struck me as very Jacksonian. I have read every biography of Jackson written and everything I can find that he wrote himself.

I started rereading it when the Impeachment trial started because I was so struck by the similarities in the political environment of the times. Jackson loved America as a vision. He loved the idea and
