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.”
