Inside Lee Wright’s downtown Houston art studio are pieces of his work.
His style of art involves transforming pictures into oil paintings. But a picture of him and the 41st president snapped five years ago isn’t a work of art. Still, it represents what is perhaps Wright’s masterpiece.
“It was a big moment for me,” Wright said.
It was, in fact, a monumental moment for Wright, who presented the late president, George H. W. Bush, a painting of himself that’s a replica of Bush’s 1942 Navy pilot picture taken when Bush was just 18 years old.
