Delaware- first state
Standing stones with a mysterious past and sunken rode cut from peat bogs echo a whisper that I am Clan Morrison. The mysterious life of charcoal the purity of the canvas whisper to the wind that I am an artist. It is said that only one state is representative of the entire US which is Delaware as in its both agrarian and industrial; however, it tends to be more liberal then equal politically although it was the first state. It was the first state to ratify the constitution. The one person I knew from Delaware bemoaned the Lack of Christian Television. The only other thing on the state is Dela wares her new jersey.


The state of Delaware has a very interesting mythology. Everything is on the Delaware militia flag which was used during the American Revolution. That militia was famous for covering Washington’s famous retreat during the Battle of Long Island. Everything is in front of a Swedish flag as Delaware was a colony of Sweden. The governor was a fat Tyrant that the Indians call “Big Belly” There is a nursery rhyme about him that goes, “Not any one now or any one since has been as fat as Johan  Printz.” The Dutch drove the Swedes from Delaware. The state’s name is named for the native peoples who attacked the Anglo population in that area. The silver button in front of the glass is symbolic of a man who made a pact with the Devil to kill a thousand Indians, and his silver button supposedly killed a hundred. The flowers are the state flower peach blossom. The glass is there for the glass of wine that is left out for the ghost in the governor’s mansion. The pan behind the flower is because Delaware is known for making them. The feather behind the glass is the Blue Hen, the state bird, which was the best fighting cock during the American Revolution. The horse shoe is for Caesar Rodney, the deciding vote for declaring independence which he had to make a special ride to make. I drew this piece recently, and it is made with pencil and white charcoal. The size is 8”x10.”


 I drew this 12/14/13 and named it “Cleared field with Farm House.”  I was really cold when I drew it but the ink did not freeze and no snow. The breaths of woods and farm are brought together on a lonely road in Indiana. It gives a unique look at rural life.
