| : After putting down his executive pen, former US President George W Bush picked up a paint brush - and the hobby has become something of a career. An exhibition of his oil paintings depicting US military veterans will open today at the former president's library in Dallas.
The collection, on display at the George W Bush Presidential Center in Texas until October 1, features 66 portraits and a four-panel mural.
Mr Bush's paintings pay tribute to the nearly 100 wounded or traumatized personnel who he has known personally since leaving the White House in 2009.
As the 43rd US president, Mr Bush had commanded the US military members, who all served in the wars he launched in Iraq and Afghanistan following the attacks on September 11, 2001.
The former commander-in-chief released on Tuesday a book titled "Portraits in Courage: A Commander in Chief's Tribute to America's Warriors," which includes images of the portraits and the veterans' personal stories.
