    I just finished an oil painting on canvas of the Historic Flags of the US.

    size 2.00m x 1.70m (6'9" x 5'9")

    each flag was painted in a ratio of 1.9 x 1.00

    it took 4 months and over 500hours.

    Hello Zimad,
    Your painting has certainly captured the variety of star pattern in the flag unlike most compliations of US flag history. Good job!

    thank you both for your comments that are appreciated.
    I saw Nicks collection which is impressive.
    Yes i tried to tale all flags into account and some of the main Presidential quotes which I added to the painting.
