A rowboat laden with soldiers and officers cuts through dark, icy waters while a figure in a commanding stance holds the American flag aloft against a dramatic sky streaked with storm clouds and pale dawn light. The composition radiates movement and determination, with richly rendered uniforms in deep reds and golds contrasting against the cool tones of the water and the turbulent atmosphere above. Crafted from durable canvas-like poly-poplin and made to order, double-stitched with a cotton webbing strap. The everyday haul, from groceries to the beach, carrying an independent artist's work.
