Statue of Liberty, "Mother of Exiles," Pencil Drawing on Bristol Board, 9x9 by Carmen Beecher

Buy

The plaque on the wall of the Statue of Liberty reads, in part:

“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”

The poem also refers to the statue, representing America, as the Mother of Exiles. In view of recent events, my drawing speaks for itself.

Eye of the Eagle, 6x6 Acrylic Abstract Art on Canvas Panel, Red, White and Blue

I posted this abstract today because it has a patriotic flair and it fits my subject for the day. My friend, the talented poet JoAnna O'Keefe, has written a wonderful poem called America at the Crossroads. It speaks to what is happening today in our country and both the lyrics and the music are poignant and beautiful. I first heard it when I was with a large group of people, and everyone there was visibly moved, as would be anyone who has an ounce of patriotism.
