CO
Now… I’m not much of a flag nerd. You know the types… always driving to flag conventions and spending all their disposable income on flag variant prints… in fact I regularly see US state flags and am surprised to find out that they have been around for decades ( I lived in Illinois for ten years and was genuinely surprised to see what the state flag looked like about a year ago)… But I really love the Colorado flag. It is striking, it embraces primary colors, and has one simple letter. If you look at the flags for all 50 states, CO just stands apart! I wanted to paint this to commemorate moving into our studio on Main Street in Longmont, Colorado. I love how the white shapes smash into the red and yellow… like a the water in a stream colliding with rocks as they peak above the water. A fun piece to paint and a great painting, in my totally biased opinion!
