AF Artist -Variation on a Theme

[AF Artist]

The American Flag is currently my subject of my creative art graphics. I am a hobbiest artist that loves America, and its symbol the American Flag. I've been trying to find other artists that have used the American Flag as their subject. The internet has not been very helpful on this issue.My latest project on the Flag all have 50 stars(all facing up), 13 red&white stripes included in all motifs, and all done in Red, White, and Blue. I have included samples for the forum to see what I'm working on. They can be seen at
