"The Price of CHANGE"

DAVE MERRICK A PAINTER OF LIFE

“I never thought I would ever paint such a thing, and I am ashamed that I was forced to.  I never thought that our country’s greatest threat would originate in the office of its chief executive leader.
“I am ordinarily an artist who paints and draws different works (mostly portraits) for people who commission me. However, since our nation has generally sat on its hands as President Obama has applied himself at dismantling us, I have been beside myself with amazement, rage and sorrow toward him and the people who have enabled him. As a result and in response to all that, I had to somehow SAY SOMETHING in protest. Art is a universally understood language and I speak that fluently, so I composed the attached artwork. It literally flowed off my brush."
