The artists name is Jon McNaughton (FaceBook -or- mainsite) and these are two painting I like by him. In fact, when I was in Arizona last month I saw the “Peace Is Coming” (below) painting in an art store. Very deep.

Some funny stuff has come out in regards to the above painting, such as this humorous “caption” :

“We’ll trade you this peasant for that constitution. We’ll even throw in the bench,” to, photo-shopped versions of it.
