Mother of Liberty

Blue Ridge Parkway Paintings By Dawn Richerson

She, the Keeper of the Flame, walks with virtue and with valor ever deeper into liberty. Hers is a mystery in a mystery dressed in ruby red. Behind her stands a chorus of awkward angels and ahead the shadows lengthen with their longing to know more of her story, time-honored and intact, despite the limp with which she moves. "Mother of Liberty: Valor and Virtue" is a Soul of Place painting inspired by an experience at Falling Creek State Park in Bedford, Virginia. This painting from Virginia artist Dawn Richerson is part of the Give Me Liberty! series and the Blue Ridge Blessings Collection of paintings.
