Flag Painting: Order and Chaos
I recently created this painting (May 2015). For the army men toy shapes, I photographed, printed, and traced each one individually to create the 'stars' and overall pattern.
As I painted them, the shapes reminded me of the chalk outlines from crime scenes. It is a reminder of the cost of freedom. It was a LOT of work but also a labour of love.
Detail of Order and Chaos
The stars are white army men and the outlines on the stripes are with two colours of grey. Light grey on white and a darker shade on the red.
Acrylic on fabric. Image size of the flag is 21” x 39” with an overall size of 23.5” x 42” with turned edges and brass grommets for displaying as a wall hanging.
