Rockwell

In my lifetime I have never seen anything like the hateful rhetoric and disturbing conduct of this increasingly escalating political circus, a circus that has taken a twisted, dark turn - one that is, sadly, an expected outcome of hate disguised as "saying it like it is".

Sometimes art speaks louder than words.

Sending warm wishes as always,

Abigail

P.S. My grandfather painted a quiet eulogy to my grandmother, Mary, who had passed away unexpectedly before the birth of her first grandson, Geoffrey. Pop placed her in the upper right hand corner, dressed in blue with a white collar, holding the newborn in her arms. To me she looks a bit like an angel watching over the grandson she never got to meet.
