  1. What a charming painting...a joyful aspect to patriotism, as though it were part of our daily lives. Oh, wait, it's meant to be, isn't it?

    For the first time in his 43-year residency in Australia, for the 4th my brother and his wife attended a celebration for ex-pats - Dr. Pepper and Krispy Kremes and tears produced by singing the National Anthem

  2. Marylinn - This has always been a favourite painting for me and it does seem just right for the holiday. Possibly not as wonderful as Dr. Pepper and Krispy Kremes however!
