I wanted to get my hands on some paint this mornin I wanted to get my hands on some paint this morning, so I played with mixing burnt sienna with this rainbow of colors. I love the tones I was able to get. This is one of my favorite ways to just play with the medium. 💕
I'm going to be introducing new prints from my new I'm going to be introducing new prints from my newest print collection over the next few weeks. Today, meet these two versions of America, the Beautiful, my favorite of the patriotic hymns, by Katharine Lee Bates and published in 1895. Sharon McMahon, in her excellent book, The Small and the Mighty: Twelve Unsung Americans Who Changed the Course of History, from the Founding to the Civil Rights Movement, devotes a whole chapter to Bates, her story, and the writing of this song. 

I decided to create one print with flowers, landmarks, and wildlife representing our vast nation from Hawaii to New York, while the other is inspired by the "purple mountains" and "amber waves of grain" lines. The poppies have been associated with remembrance of sacrifice since WW1. They also create a nod to the red, white, and blue of our flag. 

I also created two stickers that go along with this theme. One has a line from this song and references our flag through tiny images. The second is the image of the Statue of Liberty with the words "Liberty and justice for all" (from the Pledge of Allegiance).
