Ronald Reagan and The American Ideal

Renowned American artist Steve Penley presents a passionate and beautiful portrait of Ronald Reagan that transcends politics. As Andrew Breitbart writes, "Penley's respectful and inspiring Ronald Regan portraits would fit as well on the wall of a Nebraska farmhouse as they would in the living room of a Park Avenue patron." Penley's collection captures Reagan's optimistic "morning in America" outlook while reminding Americans who they are and who they can be.Influenced by the television and movie heroes of his childhood who portrayed the classic struggle of good versus evil, Penley's paintings give a new life to the familiar faces of history. His audience will see Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington in a fresh light. Penley also shows how counterculture and celluloid icons such as Jimi Hendrix and John Wayne help tell the rich story of American history, and how icons from a wide range of backgrounds reflect the ingenuity and creativity that is uniquely American. Penley's paintings are a celebration of the American spirit.
