Gallery St Clair

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.

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.
