Tumultuous times, Happy July 4, 2020! Yes, I've "thought about it." Yes, I've "rethought July 4." Yes, I've "reimagined July 4." Please, save your breath. Today is a wonderful day in the life of our Country, wishing you every Happy July 4 celebration!  What document, what sort of summer art can better express the times...than the Declaration of Independence. Here is to all of us who call ourselves, Americans. 

Kayaks on the river...in summer, a great summer wall decor selection, available now at George Delany art. I happened by this site late last season, only to realize the site and image work well as a summer kayak wall art selection, right now. I'll be going by this park later this week, no doubt these kayaks will be out on the river, exactly where they belong! 

The Declaration of Independence, from my Americana Poster Collection: In challenging times, I will be posting graphic expressions of American Ideals, frequently-- offered as wall art, or wall decor, or American Poster Art, or Americana-- for those who have never learned American history, now is the time. For those who may want to "throw it out," perhaps now is the time to revisit our ideals. For those who love our founding ideals and choose to live into them (rather than away from) more fully, perhaps you will appreciate these posts. I have endeavored to capture in contemporary typographic expression the quality of this essential, founding document. You may see others here to consider. 

Paint a lighthouse, you paint an image that holds romantic value for a lot of people in the art market. Here is Goat Island light, off the coast of Southern Maine in the Kennebunkport area. The original painting is acrylic on an old wooden shingle, from which these prints are offered. This image is one of a series of such images I painted in a "Lighthouse Immersion Experience..." some years ago when I completed the entire family seen on this site, and then some. 

Spring...Marches on. Amidst Pandemic, economic meltdown, racial and international tensions, last week we got from a particular family member an on-line tour of a family chicken coop. Am glad to report hens are well, roosters are crowing, and chicks are breaking out of their shells, growing up amidst saw dust, chicken feed and green grass, the spirit of the season comes thru, unmistakable. 

Memorial Day Weekend, in a daunting time, an even more meaningful weekend, just ahead. We've had months now to figure out what matters in life, to reflect, to catch up, to initiate new activities, to acknowledge, to understand...here is the weekend to pay special attention. 

We're beyond itchy. Time to work, to get back to work, to open up in every way...safely, of course, but open up! Data tells us that survival rates are much higher than we thought, originally-- and death rates are much smaller than we originally understood. So let's protect those who need to be protected...and get this local, regional and national economy on the move, again.

A few recent testimonials from my FB page, thanks to enthusiasts for their remarks...

"...the very best and you never know what's next!" 

"...George is a fantastic and creative artist!" 

"...insights to nature and art..." 

We made it...to May, despite all kinds of chaos, mayhem, pandemic, economic meltdown, health chaos, geopolitical shenanigans, you name it, here we are! We can do this. < g > 

Another cold, rainy April day, today. These are the days that make May and June so glorious, are they not? These are times when people, most people are home, or occupied in some fashion decidedly different from the norm, unlike any other, I would say...here in the Days of the Virus.
