September 3, 2007 May fervor not become incendiary...

This evening, Julia and I watched the second part of Volume I from the _Founding Brothers_, which explains how bitterly divided the nation's founders were at times. I had no idea of the conflicts which they faced at this critical time in our nation's beginning. Perhaps that was part of the inspiration for this little drawing. As I drew from the dictates of my heart, I was surprised to see the thing held aloft looked rather like a bomb. The hands have no head. Heart's passion can lose its head of calm reason. The connecting point of the arms looks rather like the clay olla water jugs, part of southwest American history. Perhaps it is suggesting again that we are vessels for our emotions?
