From the 1773 Boston Tea Party then, leading to dumping the King in 1776 to reclaiming democracy today in 2026, the USA is still throwing the King overboard with the largest demonstration, No King, in the history of the USA. Using an apple, as American as apple pie, personifies the people of then and the people of now, in the simplicity of a "Snow Life" (think winter plein air still life) in red, white and blue, with the yellow king's crown thrown off, 1776 and 2026 are recreated in a patriotic way.
