#3 Our third spot for the week presents a Lincoln sculpture by 
Done for the state of Illinois, Kathleen takes us through the process step by step in the land of Lincoln.
Completing the story with photographs that bring us from creation to installation, the work ends with a quote including the following excerpt:
"A house divided against itself cannot stand...
I believe this government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free...Either the opponents of slavery, will arrest the further spread of it, and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction; or its advocates will push it forward..."
#2 Our second spot goes to this great conceptual piece for gaming done by 
With nice color harmony, action, and compositional sense of doom, the dark pallet (low key) finishes the objective. In line with our pursuit of great story pieces, we hope berien stays inspired to create more after a 4-year layoff.
#1 Our top spot goes to 
A must read to fully appreciate the entirety of this submission, "Iron tin, bottle of oil... and Michael Jackson" brought in 15.40 steem and positions high on the #stateofthearts feed. The richness in the colors, light properties of clarity of the bottle, and reflective aspects of the tin all work nicely.
Our congratulations go out to all the artists for providing us with a week full of variety from photography to sculpture, and large doses of creativity and entertainment.
Also, FYI be aware of where things stand with the March Art Madness call for entries.
