I was trying to think of a picture to write about and wasn’t having any luck. Then, I remembered seeing this picture. The title of this picture is “Grand Ol’ Gang” and it’s painted by Andy Thomas. I chose it for a few reasons. One is because I’m a staunch Republican (You could probably tell), and this picture represents the glory days of the GOP along with the not so memorable days. It’s a polarizing picture, and one I think is just, quite honestly, beautiful. It also makes me wonder. It makes me wonder what it would be like if you could actually get all these great men into the same room at one time, what would happen? Would their personalities clash? Would they be able to get along due to their similarities in political doctrine? It certainly looks like they are enjoying themselves in the picture. I mainly chose this picture for one reason. Art rarely affects me on a personal level. I’m just not that affected by it. I’m much more affected by music, but for some reason, this picture spoke volumes to me. This picture pretty much speaks for itself, and doesn’t need to be commented on much. I just thought it would be a really neat picture to write about. So, if you have any comments our thoughts on it, feel free to discuss. Also, there is a democratic version of this by the same artist. It’s a really pretty picture, but for some reason I don’t like it as much. I wonder why?
