This one is too special. Love the happiness of this drummer and fife corp and using flowers as the subjects. It gives a feeling of joy along with the suggestive "fireworks" in the background.

This is cool. Marching Band for 4th July Celebration. The feast spirit is added by the stars (fireworks) at the back.

Very well done and thanks for sharing.

I worked too MK...but like you I bet, I really enjoy what I do so not such a big deal.

Love the hats....and instruments but especially the black background w/ all the colored 'fireworks' Spot on perfect for our country's birthday MK. Hope someone at least grilled you a hamburger or something!!

Revolutionary Band. Perfect for the 4th of July. You even have the fireworks bursting in the sky behind them. They are proud flowers, with the three pointed hats. I truly like the flag barer. His head swathed in bandages. The flag is perfect. You are amazing.

Mark,
A beautiful picture of the Flower Folk showing their unique way of Celebrating your National Day, carrying "Old Glory" playing the Tin Whistle & playing the drum with Fireworks exploding into the sky behind & above them as they remember those who founded you great country. created with very skilful draftsmanship, beautiful choice, blending & application of your coulours.
Susan

A nice image that captures a little of all the things that the 4th of July has come to mean: the wounded warriors, the marching bands and the fireworks. I went out to try to photograph some fireworks last night and found it to be more of a challenge than I thought. Will post one for you.

Comment from El-mundo
Here comes the noise, bye bye peace and quiet! haha good to see these guys joining in the celebrations too and doing their bit musically (and obviously the less musically capable member bearing the flag so equally as honourable! lol) great lively colours as always and neat and sharp drawing with great attention to detail, with a nice dark background and fireworks (?) to top it off that helps show these guys revelling in the July 4th celebrations even better. Lovely piece! :)
