“The Colors Of Freedom” Jim Connelly

The Colors of Freedom

This series of three paintings was created to commemorate and celebrate three virtues instrumental in molding the character of the United States of America. The cowboy is used in these works because of the iconic stature he holds as bearer of these traditional values. Individually, the works are titled “Work”, “Honor” and “Reverence”.

Work is about the right and freedom the individual has to participate in a free and open market. Anyone can own a piece of property to raise crops or cattle or own tools to make and sell a product or provide a service. Work is a good and noble way to provide for one’s self and family.

Honor pays respect to those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in keeping America secure and free, and also gives special thanks to the men and women who serve in the armed forces.

Reverence gives thanks and recognition to God who by His grace and kindness has overseen and blessed America with a great land and system of personal and national freedom and prosperity.
