We've all been there: Mom, or great aunt Margaret, or your well-intentioned neighbor bequeaths you with a knickknack that just doesn't quite work. But, because you're a nice person, you keep it anyway. Yesterday,
Vogue
took us on a photo tour of former First Daughter Barbara Bush's Manhattan brownstone, and just happened to highlight a cat painting made by the artist formerly known as President George W. Bush, just for her. The painting of Barbara's cat Eleanor was a Valentine's Day gift from her father, and it now sits in a place of pride in the living room of her West Village home. Apparently, he took up painting two years ago, and is "an excellent artist," his daughter tells Vogue. Cat art as a token of paternal love? Why not?
