When I saw this American Flag Collage Paining ($140), I was immediately drawn to the uniqueness of the mixed media, the arresting look of seeing news headlines within each white stripe of this flag and the boldness and familiarity of the red, white and blue!
There are many people who are not only patriotic, but like to have visual symbols (like the American flag, eagles, Lady Liberty) of the country they hold so dear to their heart.
This is a great gift for someone who has served their country, someone who loves art, someone who loves flags or someone who loves America.
This gift would be even more personal for someone who has Texas or San Antonio roots, since all the headlines are taken from the “San Antonio Express Newspaper” as the artist, J.M. Strawn, was born and bred in Texas.
This gift is a one of a kind so, if you know someone who would love this, you shouldn’t hesitate to get this gift!

I love this gift idea!
BTW I checked out the post about when you dyed your pup…that totally made me laugh, she looked adorable. These poor dogs of ours:o) The gel I got actually came off by itself within two days. It could be that my dogs have coarser dog hair, though. But when I washed my hands after using it came off rather easily. 7 months would have been a long time!
I’m always looking forward to the info you put up!!
@INeedACanoe – Thank you!!! It’s really an interesting and unique piece.
I had a feeling after seeing your post that you would love seeing that. You know, she just stood there on the counter like it was the most natural thing in the world to be painted? She STILL has a little bit of orange in her tail and ear but, fortunately, it is so faded it almost looks natural.
Our dogs must love us!
