Political Unrest

Artwork can be found in political unrest. I cite this graffiti – mural, not because it is exceptional but because it is expressive. Due to the instability in Libya and the Muammar Gaddafi’s crack down on his own people, I thought this mural was particularly insightful as an antithesis to America’s recent Fourth of July celebration, where freedom reigns. In Libya it does not.

Ex-Politics by Muse seems appropriate for Kick-Starting the Weekend.

 

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
