The White Picket Fence is Broken

The black and white finish adds to the age of this broken fence, but the real mystery is what lurk behind it.

Wonderful shot, I was just telling someone that I like to paint my fences broken. Perhaps " there is something there that does not like a fence " .... Robert Frost from the poem mending fences.

Spectacular artwork, Lenore! Evokes a sense of loss and regret for all that is good in the world!

Amazing and powerful image, Lenore. fave '-)

This is such a great social statement piece, it says it all. how far we fallen is such a time. Outstanding thoughtful work. Thank you for this series. v/f

Powerful graphic simplicity, Lenore! You raise interesting questions with this gallery on the American Dream. I am both American and Canadian. Here are a couple of thoughts on a broad and complex subject: Canadians do not have a Dream. We, of course, have our goals and hopes, but we never talk of a single dream, nor lament its illusiveness. If the American Dream is freedom, that contains its own set of problems. D H Lawrenece sagely said, "Shouting of freedom is a rattling of chains." I will shut up now... :)

Power personified! Wow! The stark reality of the national (and world!) situation in a single image. Outstanding and compelling work!

Lenore this is wonderful and the title conveys the message within the piece really inspiring work and a rec

Beautifully simplicity. fave and vote

Lenore, this entire series is amazing...your insights and portrayal of the landscape changes are wonderfully conveyed...the existentialism of the American Dream is now being exposed for what it has long been...a cruel image manipulation aimed at feeding opium to the masses to quiet dissent, questioning or probing discourse about the institutions that are entrusted...the Wall Street Rage that is now occurring could be a prelude to more dramatic direct actions if the political leadership fails to put the country ahead of political points...if that happens, the Arab Spring will look like Seurat's A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte...

Wow, very powerful image! Nothing else needs to be said... A big fav!
