I'm not flag waving patriot. Interestingly enough, it wasn't until recent history that the display of the American flag became so popular. A historical look at its use shows that today it is displayed more than in the past.
This study uses local color and is a little more realistic than I usually paint. I had some 5x7 canvases that I wanted to use. I'm not sure I like canvas when it is used on small pieces – I think I prefer smooth panels for smaller pieces. To me, the canvas texture is too large for the subject. On larger pieces I don't mind using thin paint and having the texture show through, but here I think it distracts from the subject.
