The green soldiers on topof the painting were graciously supplied by Rob and Julie Hadley. Lizann's star cookie cutter lived at our house for almost a year. Thanks to all of you.Travelling through Utah inspired me to create a US flag of based on the colors of its geological formations. I struggled to incorporate the yellows, oranges and reds without loosing the Amerinca flag. I only discovered the Quino reds a couple of months after I'd completed the work.
I used molds and stamps that the kids had created many years ago. I also molded and carved many of the images specifically for this work.
The Cocopelli man, the petroglyphs, and a number of Navajo images comestraigh out of the trip to Utah. The green soldier molds, Coca-Cola, Micky Mouse, guns and car images are just so All American. I have included our Grapevine address and paid homage Cam too. Many images and many hours of working and baking and rebaking clay molds and tiles.
