This time of year we all head to our local watering holes, enjoy soaking up the sun, eating some awesome grilled foods, and enjoy some sparkly fireworks in the night sky. I know my family and I are heading to the pool where we will do all of the above! It's also a time of remembrance and gratitude for the birth of what would become the country we know and appreciate so much today as Americans! So I ask you all tonight, when you are looking up at that dark night sky full of red, white, and blue - send a little thought of gratitude for the country we live in today and the beautiful freedoms that we have and are able to continue to evolve here!

I wanted to share a quick post - so forgive me for it not being terribly long! I created this painting as tribute to our great land and this holiday that marks the beginning of the great United States of America! Happy Fourth of July everyone!
