An Exceptional Work Of Art

I saw Ms. McClancy's exhibition of her Democratic Principles paintings and was in love with her work. Then I bought the book that includes biographical background as well as quotes and essays from each subject. It only deepens my appreciation of her philosophy and her deep love of this country. I can see how much of her personality is reflected in her portraitures, and they are spectacular.

we the people.......

What a wonderful book: both in its spiritual and visual context. The portraits are unique, the essays compelling. Ms. McClancy, has through her unique talents, created a masterpiece in portraiture of those who stand for the American dream of opportunity for all and that this nation, under the guidance of the Democratic Principals, shall continue to serve as an umbrella of care for the people of the United States and a light for all the world.

Compelling art and essays.

This is a truly beautiful book, visually and philosophically. The essays are as powerful and surprising as the portraits. In many ways, it is an excellent source for inspiring the young, especially the serious college student. Like the marvelous television series " John Adams" it reveals the passion and commitment of our leaders in fighting for the good of our country.
