Description
"First Lady of the United States"
A contemporary impressionist pop art digital oil painting on canvas loosely based on a photograph of Lady Liberty, the iconic symbol of American freedom and welcome to people of all nations. I used a color palette of royal blue, aqua, purple, copper and yellow for my updated tribute to our most treasured monument. If you believe in all for which the Statue of Liberty stands, don't ever forget to vote!
The New Colossus
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "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-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
- Emma Lazarus, November 2, 1883
