Flag Paintings: In the Spirit of Independence Day

ARTn't you happy it's the 4th of July weekend?

I sure am!!!  

The grill is smoking, hot dogs and hamburgers galore and fireworks are in the air...  In the spirit of Independence Day, I thought I'd do a search on paintings that have depicted the American flag throughout history.  

Google to the rescue...
