Hear the Bells:Let Freedom Ring

This painting won a National Honorable Mention and a Texas State Certificate of Award in the American Heritage Contest, 2006

There are three bells ringing in the heavens reminding us of the spirit of the patriotic heroes of the American Revolution. In the first bell, Betsy Ross is making her flag, the symbol of our country. She represents all the women who worked and sacrificed during the war. The middle bell shows George Washington on Blue Skin, his horse whose color was closely akin to white, calling his men to arms and successfully leading his men to victory. In the third bell is the Declaration of Independence, the document declaring our freedom from tyranny, which inspired the foundations of our country. These symbols have inspired millions to support liberty, freedom, and the love of God and country.
