30 ARTIST'S TAKES ON OUR DIVIDED STATES OF AMERICA

Paddle 8 has a nice selection of works on paper inspired by America and politics. I have a new book, Yes: Transform Your Life with Color By Number that comes out on Election Day, so I thought I’d put the two together. Never have we seen such a contentious election as this that has divided our country in two. I created a HOPE painting for President Obama‘s first run in 2008 (based on a vintage paint by number of the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor) and I just revised it for the book and a commission, VOTE. (You can download the blank with palette here and enter to win a free print and a signed copy of my book.)

Let’s just HOPE that people do exercise their right and let’s also ask that God, PLEASE –bless America in three days.
