I was a little intimidate to paint all those stars on the flag. I tried to think of ways to make them suggestions rather than actual stars. But as I began it just kept flowing and pretty soon, there they were. They aren't perfect, but it was fun to pay attention to which ones were full stars, which would be lost in a fold here or there, and which would be more faded into the shadow. I always feel a great sense of pride when I stand for the national anthem, as the flag is presented, or the Pledge of Allegiance. Painting the flag was an honor as well.
