Betsy’s Flag

“Sure I wave the American flag.

Do you know a better flag to wave?

Sure I love my country with all her faults.

I’m not ashamed of that, never have been, never will be.”

When you think of July 4, what is the first image that pops in your head – hot weather? BBQ’s and pool parties? Fireworks? All of these are great answers, but, for me, I always think of our flag. I take a lot of pride in my country, warts and all, and I love our flag, so I am always honored every time I get to paint it. I have painted the American flag several times in the past, but have never painted the original flag – the Betsy Ross Flag. This flag design is always easy to recognize because it has only 13 stars and they are in a circular pattern to symbolize eternity.

Some fun facts about the Betsy Ross flag are: The solid blue signifies vigilance, perseverance and justice. There are 13 stripes for each of the original 13 colonies. The red stripes symbolize hardiness and valor and the white stripes symbolize purity and innocence.

So if you are looking for a unique gift for a loved one or even for yourself to show pride in this amazing country then this one is for you. Betsy’s Flag is an original, hand-painted ceramic tile, painted in acrylics and is framed and ready to hang. The frame is wood in a black/brown glossy finish. The ceramic tile is 12″ x 12″ and the finished piece is 14″ x 14″ so it make a perfect centerpiece for any wall.

This painting is part of the Patriotic/Military Collection, and for more pieces to add to your favorite decor, check out Lovely Lady Liberty, Never Forget and Purple Heart.

Please Note: I try to photograph in the best lighting possible, so colors can vary based on the electronic device. Some photos are taken without varnish applied because lighting can sometimes cause a glare to the tiles. But, rest assured, your finished piece will have a beautiful, shiny resin finish.
