American Arrowhead

Going a little graphic here yet painterly. This watercolor shows some of my work while I was fascinated with arrowheads and gemstones. I would love to do a whole series of paintings of both really BIG!  Super-imposing the American flag on this provokes strong reactions from everybody. People are not neutral with their opinion but  they tend to have assumptions based on personal beliefs, which I have found fascinating. If you are "LEFT" than it's America as a warring society. If you are "RIGHT" than it's America as a strong, protective society.  It's an arrowhead with an American flag on it! Yet it can't just be that can it? Not even with myself.
