11.5.08 - 66/365

flag waving
for so many years now
i've hated our flag
and what it stood for
(never posting an image that had one in it)

that's over now
i am proud to be an american
i am proud of our country
proud that we finally woke up,
recognized a true leader
got off our asses
and voted to change our future

now a little story:

i got new paints today
that's always exciting
but when i started working
i didn't like the texture of some of the colors
they were too sticky
and seemed not to be properly formulated
i once had a tube like that before...
i threw it out

what a disappointment
but then,
i looked at the tubes again
and...
they were oil paints
not water colors!!!!
silly me
:p

so i made a little mixed media painting
(as well as made a mess out of my brushes)

I so agree with your sentiments - I've embarrassed for America, and now I am filled with pride that so amny wee willing to speak up with their vote.

And I love your mixed up painting. All is as it is supposed to be.
