Stars and Stripes

In this piece, it is clearly based on the American flag, which is evident through the red and white stripes and blue star. I chose to do my design this way (the typical stripes but with one stat centered rather than multiple) because I feel it shows unity in a way, even though the US isn't necessarily united at the moment.

I used acrylic paint on canvas for this piece, which I found was a good way to use solid colors with little to no variance, which I decided was important for my design.

This piece was originally going to be a solid blue star, but after looking at it with just the blue, I realized it looked as if it were missing something, so I went back in and added a black star on top of the blue, which is eye catching.
