What a clever way to paint the American flag! I love how the white swirls become the stars. Good job! I wish the best to you in the contest.

I just love this! The swipes give this a hand hooked rug type of appearance. It is a wonderful abstract rendering of our national standard. This would make a great iron on transfer for a T-shirt.

This is amazing; I love the way you got the stars and stripes working together. Such a perfect example of Old Glory, nice job, was it a pour?

What a cool way to illsutrate the flag. It's chaotic but cohesive. It has almost a abstract feel to it yet you know what it is when you look at it. Great job!

Unique creation!
Creative concept. Innovative approach. Imaginative presentation.

I like the swiped strokes--flowing & dynamic!

Harmonious colors blending.
