“Dreamers” | Oil on Canvas | 36″ X 24″
I am so excited to unveil my newest painting.
Dreamers is the second in my series Norman Rockwell in Post-Racial America.

Hey, Democrats: Don’t make a deal on the shithole border wall!
If Democratic leaders make a deal with President Donald J. Trump on his shithole border wall, they will secure his re-election in 2020.
Eight years of a disastrous Trump administration is not acceptable! Neither the United States nor the world can survive eight years of the “Racist-in-Chief” and “Hustler-in-Chief.”
