Originally this graphic was posted in 2013, but the words still speak truth today just as they did back in 1776. May God bless America!

Happy 4th of July!
A throwback ink wash and crayon drawing that I completed many years ago. The sentiment still rings true, that despite our troubles I am proud to be an American. Especially, today as we celebrate another 4th of July and the freedom’s we enjoy.
God bless and be safe!
FREEDOM, requires sacrifice.
On this Memorial Day of 2015, as an American, I pause to reflect on the freedom’s I have and all the sacrifices of those who have made that possible.
THANK YOU!
Let me never take what I have for granted nor ever forget.
Thank you, never forget!
- Let us never forget! The sacrifice of others to ensure our freedom and way of life. This day and everyday may we pause and give thanks for all we have. Thank you seems inadequate and yet we truly appreciate the sacrifice and commitment that protects us and ensures our way of life. Thank you! ~M
July 4th Images
Let us never forget!
The above are a few images that I have completed over the years of patriotic American themes. In honor of this American holiday, I thought I would simply share them with my viewers. Most have been previously posted on my blog and are linked to the original post. I am proud to be an American regardless of what is currently occurring within and outside this great nation. Be blessed this day and be safe! ~M
We Must Never Forget!
America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. ~Abraham Lincoln
Colors Still Shine!
This Memorial Day Weekend 2014, we pay tribute to all of those who have sacrificed for our country and the freedoms we have. Thank you!

Not sure what to say about this little painting other than it simply flowed easily from the end of my brushes. I only had the simple design of the horse shape but no expectation of colors until I started to paint. I like the freedom of this design (and the colors :)) it reminds me of the tragedy of the wild horses of the American West and how they are slowly losing their freedoms and their very lives.
These iconic animals represent America in the freedoms we all enjoy and should remain a fixture on our landscape for future generations. To show your support please like the page Protect Mustangs on Facebook, follow Protect Mustangs on Twitter and visit the webpage –

The American Bison is a true original and its image takes us back to a seldom remembered past when they roamed freely over the land prior to their decimation almost to extinction at the hands of man. I tried to capture the simple beauty, strength and majesty of this truly magnificent animal. This was previously painted a few years ago but the 4th of July got me to thinking about our great country so thought I would post it here. Enjoy! ~M
Happy 4th of July 2013
