Former U.S. president George W. Bush has a new title to add to his resume: painter.
The subjects of his paintings? World leaders - a theme he knows well.
Bush's portraits go on display in his presidential library and museum in Dallas, Texas Saturday.
The exhibit, titled "The Art of Leadership: A President's Personal Diplomacy," will feature his paintings of world figures he worked with during his presidency from 2001 to 2009, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama.
Bush began his painting hobby two years ago. In an interview on NBC with his daughter Jenna Bush Hager, who works for the network, Bush said although he does not think he is a great artist, "a whole new world has opened up" for him.
