I call this painting "White House in the Snow".
The cornerstone of the White House was laid in 1792 in a Masonic ceremony. It is the oldest public building in Washington. President Theodore Roosevelt made the name White House official in 1902. #WhiteHouse #americanhistory

My Unforgettable Trip to Mount Rushmore

Despite the bleakness of the scene, the color and movement give a vital and energetic feel that makes this one of my most successful paintings. It is my tribute to the men who suffered and died there.
