"America's Pride", the first piece in my new "Flags Over America" collection, features the same dramatic sky and waving flag seen in my previous painting, "The Light of Freedom", while below I pay tribute to the most patriotic of all American cities - our nation's capitol. In my painting, I have pictured the skyline of Washington, D.C. with lights glittering as evening approaches. The Capitol Building is illuminated as is the Washington Monument, while cherry blossoms catch the last rays of sunlight in the foreground. I hope to pay tribute to other cities in the future but there is no doubt that for all citizens of the United States, our nation's capitoltruly is "America's Pride."
