"Government"

Feeling particularly democratic - I chose the U.S. Capitol Building as my subject today, as well as the weekly challenge on my Different Strokes Blog. This view is from 7th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, in Washington, DC - where I just returned from a quick and enjoyable couple of days. Love that city. I stress - if you find yourself there - you must visit the American Art Museum/National Portrait Gallery. An often-overlooked stop, but the best art collection in the area.

Now get out there and VOTE.

I'm always so pleasantly delighted to look at your work. You make the design/values/colors/edges come together for a cohesive painting that is fun to look at.

Karin - this is wonderful! I love the atmosphere you capture in your work. You say so much in such a small space. Always love to see what comes next!
All the best,
Marilyn
