Old Glory a little tattered and Torn

[Merle Rice]

9"x5"x1/2", Basswood, finished Acrylic Paint,PolyU, Watco Dark Wax.
I Airbrushed this design on my Daughters Garage door about 8 yrs ago and it is still holding up, amazing. I was going thru my Airbrush Patterns and saw this design and thought it would go good with my Eagle. I think I pulled it off OK. I had to remove the paint and do it over because I really messed it up.
She may be Tattered and Torn but she is still a PROUD and GRAND OLD FLAG. As always your comments are always welcome. Merle

Thanks Tom, after doing the Eagle I got a little Patriotic feeling and the 2 just came together. Those are mine to keep. Right back at you Tom. Merle

Merle: The longer I am on the Board, the more I pick and choose what I respond to. I really like what you've done with the Flag and the eagle makes it pop. It reminds me of a lot of folks who sacrificed to make our way of life possible. Thanks for sharing this.
