"Wings of Freedom" by S.R. Cutrer

My suitcases are unpacked- again. Three weeks ago we flew back from a family vacation in Washington, D.C. Yesterday we returned from a quick, but fun trip to west TX. It was my birthday, and my husband knows I love to travel. Yes, it takes me out of my beloved studio, and yes, I do get off of my healthy-eating plan a lot, but there is nothing like throwing a few things into my luggage and heading for parts previously un-investigated (by me and my hubby). What beautiful parts of the country we saw! So many hills and valleys, such green grass, beautiful farms and ranches. We enjoyed talking with people, and visiting a super nice antique car dealership, among the many things we packed into our getaway.

I am posting my original painting of our wonderful bald eagle,along with the American and Texas flags because I want to make sure that everyone knows I am proud to be an American! Yes, and a  proud Texan! We do have our many "flaws" in this country (and it seems the gap is widening from the freedoms I grew up knowing) but we are still a great nation- under GOD. Let's keep it that way.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, unto the republic for which it stands, one nation, under GOD, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

HAPPY FOURTH! LET FREEDOM RING!!!!

Blessings,

Commissioned Flag Painting by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

This was a commissioned painting, done for a birthday gift from a sweet husband whose wife works for the Texas Postal Service. The background is an American flag and a Texas state flag, with the American flag also flying from its flag pole outside the original US Post Office in that area, established back in 1926. Wow, haven't things changed quiet a bit since then!

Thankfully, some things never change... like God...

Hebrews 13:8 -  Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, yes and forever.


But sometimes change is good... 2 Corinthians 5:17 

Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.

"Wings of Freedom" flag painting in oils

"Wings of Freedom" was painted with appreciation for all of our American service men and women- from Texas or not. I saw a movie the other night called,” The Lost Valentine" with Betty White (who is nearly 90) made by the Hallmark company. What an awesome movie geared toward our service people- past and present, remembering the widows and other family members who lost their loved ones because of their ultimate sacrifice. It is about love for country, and the great bond that holds like super glue between comrades. I cried so hard I could hardly breathe. My dad is so proud of the years that he served in the Navy. As he ages, he talks about it more often. In this movie they have a moment or two that shows a few WWII vets. You could see the love and honor, the complete respect in their eyes for the body of their fallen comrade, although he had been missing in action for 66 long years.

May God bless and watch over all of those who are serving this great country today, yesterday, and tomorrow. May he keep angels watching over each one, and their families who sacrifice along with them. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Wings of Freedom is painted in oils on a 24"x 30" stretched canvas. Scroll through my listings for prices!
