About the Book
This book chronicles over 60 paintings as they were revised and reworked over time. It was a twisting and unpredictable journey and many went through more changes than others. But for all, it was a very colorful one.
Working with them results in never-ending creative questions that require me to constantly scrutinize my work and aesthetic decisions, which result in me constantly revising it. Abstract or Realistic.
It is a tug-of-war and that is why it takes me so long to finish a painting.
Also included are dozens of whimsical eccentricities written in verse to help move the plot along.

About the Creator
Jonathan Franklin
Oak Park, IL
As an artist for over forty odd years, my biggest gig so far has been as the official White House Portraitist. During the past two years, I have had the privilege of painting our DearLeader over a couple dozen times looking his authoritarian best in all kinds of remarkable settings. And now, after much anticipation, I have finally assembled those paintings into a 48 page full-color book that includes personal commentaries, as well. It has been truly an inspiration to be so close and present with the man with the golden touch, who in every sense of the phrase, is Making America Great Again.
