Detail of "I Hear America Singing" by Troy's Work Table . Frost Park Chalk Off 7:14. Friday 04 July 2014.

TWT wanted to chalk patriotic for Independence Day, so he did.

The "purple mountain majesty" of Mount Rainier turns to forest and then to the "fruited plains." Above the mountain, the night sky is filled with firework stars, which becomes the striped sky and sun (and the rest of the flag). Below the wall is Tacoma and Puget Sound, including a signature octopus and the White Whale.

The title was borrowed from Walt Whitman's poem of the same name, even there are no people pictured in the chalk art. Instead the landscape was allowed to sing its "strong melodious songs."
