1987 original oil painting 36x48 inches is in the collection of Nick and Vickie Massad, American Liberty Hospitality. I struggled with sketches for a painting for the 200th anniversay of the U.S. Constitution untill I saw George Washington in a dream signing the Constitution. He being President of the Constitutional Convention was the first to sign. I composed the rest of the painting around that image. Madison and Hamilton authors of the Fedralist papers flank him. The images behind them represent the people of all nationalities yet to come seeking the opportunity that freedom will afford them thru the Constitution. Giclees |
