Do the empty chairs symbolize the parents and grandparents killed by Sadam's regime?

No, Nhboy is wrong.

The painting is "Ghost of Pakistani child", and the empty chairs represent the parents killed by drones ordered by Obama's regime.

Interesting article.

DALLAS — Former President George W. Bush is something of a natural when it comes to making oil paintings, a decent amateur. Although he picked up a brush only in 2012, this naturalness emerged as a definite possibility barely a year later. That’s when images of two strange, seemingly introspective paintings by Mr. Bush went viral, hacked from the email of a Bush relative, very discreetly showing the former president bathing.

"Now Mr. Bush’s unsettling talent is confirmed by “The Art of Leadership: A President’s Personal Diplomacy,” a hagiographic soup of an exhibition that opened Saturday at the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum on the campus of Southern Methodist University, and includes — amid quite a bit else — 30 of the former president’s oil-on-board paintings of world leaders. The exhibition starts with a presidential self-portrait that seems still to need work and a far more affecting depiction of his aging father, former President George Bush."
