The reason I painted George Washington—our nation’s founder—crossing the Delaware is because, to me, that moment is where American patriotism truly began. To understand who we are as a country, we have to look back to the beginning. This nation was built on freedom, courage, and the belief that we could always strive for something greater. I honor that spirit through my paintings For Big Dreamers..."Crossing the Delaware" is a 48"(h) x 120"(w) acrylic on canvas painting.
