First post in over a year!

Back in August of this year (2016) I came out with my FIRST PRINT!

It is titled "Freedom" the original was done on 16 x 20 canvas panel in oil paint.  The print itself is a little smaller.



"Freedom" The original oil painting


The Print

The printer made the print a bit darker than the original, and I'm  happy she did.  It seems to sharpen the overall image up quite a bit and adds depth to places you wouldn't even think about such as the folds on the the flag.  This piece is part of my ongoing series of pictures involving the American Flag and the bald eagle.  This is the first time I added something else to the mix though, that being "We the People" from the United States constitution.   i hadn't ever done lettering like that with oil paint before it was a lot more difficult than I thought it would be.
