Painting Series... Myths and Lies

Especially American Myths and Lies.
Not necessarily "Washington cut down the cherry tree" type myths.
​
More like, the Myth of the "Self-Made Man", who pulls himself up by his bootstraps with help from nobody else and becomes a prince of capitalism solely through his own merits. And who, therefore, naturally deserves so many privileges.

Another Myth, is the "Welfare Mom", who takes state money to be lazy and raise lots of kids. 

Yet another Myth, is the "Idiot who burned themselves on coffee at Mcdonald's and now we all have to drink cold coffee."

Some myths might be big in scale, and  others might be relatively silly and trivial. But they should all be based on lies that we are raised to believe in America.
