(53,410 posts)Im always a bit wary of overblown patriotic symbolism because it can go so wrong. But I like what youve done here, perhaps because we truly need hope and the determination to rescue the country from slipping into the darkness of corruption and bring the death of idealism. Youve depicted our hope and our determination to protect and defend our national idea and the person who, above anyone else, we are choosing to lead us into our destiny as we see ourselves.
Joe Biden is who chance, or destiny, or karma, or whatever you want to call it, is the person who is going to lead us out of the near collapse of everything this country stands for in potentiality.
The feeling I get is that we are more, much more, than the forces that are trying to destroy us. Our determination, which will be evident in who we pick out to lead us, is to stand strong behind a leader who understands and promises the entirety of the task at hand and who will set us on the path thats required to do it.
My observation of your painting is on the emotional level because we are, right now, in that moment of choice that will determine our future. You have captured that moment quite successfully. By electing Joe our intentions are loud and clear and pure as to what we want our future to be. Thanks for depicting this so well. Its not easy to paint patriotism well but youve done it.
