Enduring Legacy

"From my perspective, old barns are like works of
art, and most possess a unique and individual
personality. In bygone days, placing advertising
slogans on the facades of barns was very popular .
Today, one can still see them in various parts of
the country. Recalling my travels through the
Midwest, the inspiration for this painting came to
me - paint an American Flag on the facade of a barn!
Our flag, a powerful symbol, inspired me to employ
symbolism in this painting. For example, I created
the blue sky and the patterns of the fleecy clouds
to subtly mirror the patterns of a waving flag. In
order to convey a feeling of optimism, the setting
is early spring: The snow is melting, new growth is
sprouting, and sunny days lie ahead. Finally, I
think that this old barn stands as symbol for
traditional values like hard work, craftsmanship,
endurance, pride, and our kinship to the land. For
all Americans, the Flag is an Enduring Legacy,
just like the weathered barn"
