For those of you taking a long weekend off… I am jealous, but fear not, I find liberty at my drawing board even if I find myself bound up in Celtic knots at the moment.

LIBERTY drawn in red Celtic letters, inspired by the “Book of Kells,” by Meredith Eliassen, 2016.
The beginning of summer…

One of my neighbors request that I do an American flag drawing because she loves it so much… I started a process of doing the American flag for her, but with such a powerful icon that has been interpreted by better artist than myself, I think it will take many attempts to get one good image… so here is the first attempt for Alice. Now I have a picture in my mind of “Liberty Dove” that will likely signify the freedom to be at peace… let’s see if it comes to fruition.
