Presidents' Day in the USA

 

I'm sure by now you are tired of reading I am unable to leave comments on any blog, including my own, even though I visit each and every link left at Art Journal Journey (AJJ).   It's true and frustrating.  Even Google AI isn't able to help me.

If you live in the states, today is a Federal holiday. It is a celebration of George Washington's birthday, but has been changed to Presidents' or President's Day.  It is always celebrated on the third Monday in February.  

Originally it was intended to be a three day holiday for Federal workers, but has turned into a weekend of commercialism, with discounts of big ticket items such as appliances, furniture, and especially mattresses.  This is so retailers can clear their inventory by taking advantage of tax season. 

Today is Presidents' Day in the USA.  And what better way to recognize it than to visit Mount Rushmore.  Details are below.

 

This is the first time I noticed I was running out of toner in my black-only laser printer.  It became obvious when I printed the Mount Rushmore image.  

I colored part of the sky with a blue watercolor pencil and the trees with a green watercolor pencil.  I outlined the sentiment in black dye ink.  Note the mistake in the first paragraph.  I didn't until it was already glued in place.

Bleubeard and I are incredibly pleased you stopped by on this holiday, and hope to also see you at Art Journal Journey (even if we can't leave you a comment) with your own interpretation of Anywhere, Anytime, Any Place, with Anyone.
