Love him or hate him, one cannot dismiss Abraham Lincoln.

With all of the hoopla surrounding the former U.S. President, including the Steven Spielberg film and this year’s 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address and Emancipation Proclamation, Kempton artist Jonathan Bond is likewise drawing attention to Honest Abe with an exhibit of more than 30 original oil paintings honoring Lincoln.

Bond’s exhibit will run from Feb. 16 to 17 at his Kempton gallery to coincide with Presidents’ Day weekend. Lincoln’s birthday is Feb. 12, Presidents’ Day is Feb. 18,
