America the Beautiful
The American Flag. O! say can you see by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof that America was and will always be there.. I painted this over the 4th of July in 2006 while living in Charlotte, North Carolina. It has been digitalized and some special effects put into place to bring out the Flag.
