...Were the President's arguments and powers of persuasion as strong as he and Rove pretend, his tax bill would be law. But after more than 20 road trips to pressure Senators to support it, Bush was unable to turn a single vote his way. Again, Rove can paint with a broad brush. When Bush came to Washington, no one thought Congress would support such a large tax cut. If he gets 80 percent of what he wanted, that's enough to call...
...creative, unlike the idea behind it. The suburbs, like all areas in America, clearly have their faults, but White’s method of illuminating these faults seems counter-productive. She proves, through her work, that suburban America in fact does not stifle creativity. With nothing but paper, paint and a box of Band-Aids, White-—a suburbanite herself—has created fascinating works...
...more memorable works, titled “From the Sources,” Weil paints a pair of hands holding a paint brush.

While much of the paint is loosely layered, a thin layer of pastel blues and khaki greens can be identified underneath the intense oranges. These blues and greens are made visible through...

Pieces of fabric, paper and other sketches are layered on top of each other to create the sense that there is always another image trying to emerge from beneath the paint. The overall effect of this layer creates a dream-like sense of space, unconstrained by classical perspective and offering a multiplicity of views. This theme is emphasized by Haney’s extensive use of actual household objects in her collage such as wallpaper and newspaper...
Overall Apesos’ paintings are thematically interesting but not artistically involving. Like the overall exhibit, Apesos’ artistic experimentation seems fragmented, and spread about in pieces. Apesos only sparsely textures his paint, making the majority of the work flat and commercial in appearance. The few times that Apesos experiments with a textured application of paint, it enhances the work, and makes the viewer wish he had used these techniques more often. Additionally, Apesos’ style changes very little throughout the exhibit. For the most part, he uses oil paints to create clearly defined images, reminiscent...
