Artist, American, 1898 - 1994

This is an image of an American flag and two airplanes. The flag is depicted with flowing stripes and stars as if caught in a breeze. Two World War II era airplanes are shown in the sky, with propellers in motion. A dove is flying near the flagpole, adding a symbol of peace to the scene. The drawing shows detailed shading and attention to texture and movement in all elements.
