Your heart knows the way. Run in that direction.

I tend to keep my political leanings separate from my art...but as I was nearing the end of this painting, just two days before the election, apparently my subconscious had a different plan. It started popping out at me bit by bit. The white of her dress (as well as the green and purple in the background) a tribute to the suffrage movement. The heart blue as I dream the electoral map will be. The protective placement of the heart, because, well, you know. The silver hair representing the wisdom of the choice she's making. The background chaotic as all the craziness that this electoral season has been, though she remains clear and focused.

My friends, vote with your heart. Vote with your intellect. Vote.
