Feeling Patriotic is a richly textured abstract painting inspired by the colours of the Canadian flag and the layered character of the country itself—both geographically and through its people. A dominant field of red carries depth and movement through scraped and weathered marks, balanced by a contrasting white section that anchors the composition.

Built with oil and cold wax, the surface reveals evidence of layering, revision, and time. The horizontal shift between red and white suggests landscape, boundary, and transition, while remaining open to interpretation. Feeling Patriotic is less about symbols and more about atmosphere, strength, and quiet resilience.
