Federal City

Since 1800, Washington, DC
has been the permanent residence
of the government of the
United States of America.

The Constitution provided for
land, 10 miles square, to be set aside
for a federal city. The nation's
Founding Fathers chose to create
a new city, free from the jurisdiction
of any state, for a capital
belonging to all the people.

My original painting is in Gouache
18 x 24 inches

Federal City

Nearly two centuries later,
the buildings and monuments
of Washington, DC have
become universal symbols
for freedom and self-rule.

Portrait of Family Life

My theme for the work is   homeIt is a state of being as well as a place.
Home life all across the American
landscape serves as the foundational
environment for family nurture, personal
growth and well being---whether in
residential neighborhoods, hamlets,
towns, or cities.
