  Conceived and created in response to the division in our country which was so vividly displayed in the 2004 elections. The exhibition consists of a series of 33 watercolor paintings, each looking at a key event or issue for each year since 1980. The paintings show my impressions of the events' impact on our country's unity or division, with the final eight paintings depicting two alternative futures through 2008. Although the election map colors of red and blue play a prominent role in the series, no simple political statements are made here. -Kathy Canfield Shepard go to canfieldwatercolors.com • sales  |
