Have you wondered what former President George W. Bush has been up to since leaving the White House?

Art!

Here is his tribute to Barney the Scottish Terrier. Bush’s art teacher Bonnie Flood says he took up painting and learned quickly.

Flood says he’ll go down in history as a great artist.

Bush painted mostly dogs at first (around 50) and now is branching out to landscapes.

He signs his work “43″.
