Old Glory....to start the new year.

I am always pleased to finish another in my series of American flag pieces. I produced my first flag about 15 years ago and it featured a Warhol-esk color pallet of purple, green and brown. Since then, I have mostly utilized the standard color scheme of red, white and blue. This piece will be going to ARTSPACE 8 Gallery in Chicago.

About this piece:

• "Old Glory" used U.S. postage stamps and resin on canvas 36" x 60" 2016
  
• Made from approximately 7,500 used U.S. postage stamps
  
• The blue field of the flag is made from U.S. 1973, 10 cent, "Jefferson Memorial" issues
• The stars and white stripes are made from U.S. 1961, 5 cent "50 Star Flag" issues
• The red stripes are made from U.S. 1922, 2 cent "Washington" issues
