Old Glory

OLD GLORY   7" x 5" 

Premium oil paints on archival, oil primed linen board.

One nation, under God, indivisible, with justice for all. 

As I see American flags flying around San Diego, and especially at this time of year, I am reminded of the pledge of allegiance that I used to say in school with my hand over my heart. I was taught a love of all people of this, my, country, who were united, indivisible, striving for justice for all.

 I still hold to this ideal.

These flowers are popping up all over San Diego They propagate very easily and are very hardy, so I see them around the neighborhood.  I am inspired by their dance like shapes and confidence. Each flower is short lived, but no matter they seem to be a positive influence on me and others.
