Independence Day


Today is the anniversary of our nation's Declaration of Independence. The fundamental statement of that document is the concept that "all men are created equal." That statement of principle became a real beacon in the centuries that followed. The world is so very different now that one wonders what those who founded the United States would think. Would they approve?

Here is a 20x16 oil on panel of Uncle Sam, the symbol of the country, after an original by the great J.C. Leyendecker.
