The former president and first lady reflect on growing up with entrepreneurial parents, how they first met and building an art studio at their Crawford homeTrevor Paulhus for The Wall Street JournalFormer President George W. Bush, 74, is the author of “Out of Many, One: Portraits of America’s Immigrants” . His 43 paintings and narratives are on exhibit at the Bush Center in Dallas through January 2022. His wife, Laura Bush, 74, is an author who is active in conservation and women’s rights.
Laura and I spend most of our time in Dallas. But eight or nine times a year we get away to our Prairie Chapel Ranch in Crawford, Texas. When we make the two-hour drive, we like to stay there for about two weeks at a time when we can. We completed our Crawford house in 2001, just after I was elected president. After my presidency, Laura and our architect, David Heymann, conspired to add a stand-alone art studio that’s 50 steps from the house.
I paint a couple of hours each day, mostly in the morning. Nature helps me think more expansively. We have magnificent wildflower blooms in Crawford and a live oak that I love to paint.

The Extraordinary Fortune of Having Someone Worse Than You Come Along
Worst president EVER. Worse than BHO.
Good folks.
He started a war based on a lie, evolved in murdering thousands of innocent Iraqis, and is now admired by the wall street journal.
WMD...how do they sleep at night?
You and your leftists lackeys were calling him a Hitler and bigot and all the rest just like Trump back when he was president.
Literally no one cares about nor likes the Bush family.
life has got to be pretty easy now for that little puppet.
No illegal aliens trafficked by Mexican drug cartels across HIS property either I’ll bet.
Happy war criminal GeorgeWBush . But you know what makes him even creepier, those watercolors he paints of men he sent to be crippled.

Good for you President George and Laura Bush, that's what good and seasoned retirement is all about when you can afford it.

Laura deserves it. You, not so much.
Strangely September 11th entry in the Guardian Media Guide 2000 for Clinton/Starr Report...see Rome Treaty 1998 and publication of dubious Starr Report (Kavanaugh) in the same year...
