"The Sentry"

- by Heather Sims

This week's theme: A Chance to Vote

A government for the people, by the people won't work without the people. Last week in the United States the citizens of The United States had the opportunity for its citizens to have a say in their political, social, and moral future. Artist are continually expressing themselves creatively, but last week was the time for everyone to express themselves in a way that can only be accomplished in a voting booth. Many municipal and state elections took place and in the next year, Americans will find themselves making decisions that will have an impact - not just locally, but nationally as well. Whether you are young, old, male, female, republican, democrat, libertarian, green, or a little bit of everything, voting is the chance to actively participate in government!

This week the art selections celebrate and remind us of the right to vote and why we vote in the United States.


Art: The Sentry by Artist Heather Sims
This is a painting that is taken from a favorite photo of my collie dog Duncan. This photo was taken in 2002 not even a year after 9/11.. Every house on our street had the American flag waving.. We would go outside every day and talk with the neighbors and bring our collies outside with us. This photo was taken of Duncan on one of those days chatting with our neighbors most houses having the American flag flying, Not till after I took the photo I noticed the American Flag in the reflection.. I knew this photo had to be made into a painting... My husband helped with the title.. and I thought it was perfect!.. Hope you like my tribute to 9/11. Thanks, Heather Sims
