American Resistance (Deer Camp) /  by kelly heaton

American Resistance (Deer Camp), 2017. Oil on linen, 22" x 29"

American politics are complicated. Hatred is everywhere.
The empire is faltering. Dialogue and listening are on the decline.
Everybody is on the defensive. Resistance defines popular culture.
Let good energy flow. Resist destructive power.

Have some tolerance. Take the heat. Don't burn out.
