About the Man
“I do not want a government that takes care of me. I want a government that will make other men take their hands off so I can take care of myself!”
Painting through a series means I paint them all, regardless of what they did. I am usually able to find interest in every subject, I like that ability. But when it comes to Woodrow Wilson, we come to one of my favorite presidents and that is why I spent so long hovered over this painting. I’m currently reading through this awesome, full fledged 500 page biography of the man. So as to not write my own book in this post, I will save writing about Woodrow for a later date. I’ll update this page when that’s done.
If you must know, my other favorite presidents are James K Polk, Theodore Roosevelt and to a lesser extent Harry Truman. Through this project I gained respect for Grover Cleveland and the mini series HBO did on John Adams (and my wife gave me for Valentines) will hopefully shed a new light on the man. Of course I’m a fan of George Washington, Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln. That’s a given.
