The original image for this was taken during the Houlton 2011 July 4th parade. I had decided that I would concentrate on the spectators as well as the parade itself. I noticed this elderly woman dressed all in red, white and blue and couldn't resist snapping a picture.
I painted this as a possible entry for a 10x10 auction taking place later this year. When planning the painting I decided to put the focus on the elderly woman and paint everyone else without any details. It wasn't until I began painting that I noticed everyone in the background was looking the opposite way of the lady, which is strange.
