We The People Painting

It has been a while since I stretched my lettering skills. After doing some watercolor studies which I posted earlier, I thought doing a canvas painting would be a nice touch to the American flag series already produced.

This original painting measures 2'x3' on canvas. The colors are meant to blend with the other paintings in the American Flag series but I think it stands on its own merit as a single display piece.

The calligraphy flowing in a free form like this gives life to the words of the Preamble to the Constitution. By putting them in free flowing rows they begin to represent the stripes of a flag catching a nice breeze.

I wanted to make the words of the Preamble beautiful to look at as individual strokes as well as impact-full and alive when viewed as a whole image with the original typeface featured on the original Preamble "We The People".

Smaller signed Giclee prints of this painting 12"x12" will be offered for $200.00 each if ordered through Berger Fine Arts. Email (steve@bergerfiinearts.com) if interested in purchasing.

German Flag


After seeing the Irish Brigade flag I was approached to do a German flag for an office enviroment. Take a look at the lettering. Not only is this font style fun and unique but it just looks splendid when combined with the other elements in this image.

I wanted to combine the German flag colors with a traditional German Icon of the eagle to convey the old with the new Germany in one image. This 2'x2' image is meant to make a bold statement in any room.

Smaller signed 12x12 Giclee prints of this painting will be available for around $200.00. Framing will be available.

The State of Texas Art


I have been producing state flags and I was doing a watercolor study for a larger acrylic painting of the state of Texas flag. I was trying something a little different by adding some other elements to the art rather than just the flag.

I am still not sure about doing it for every state but it does add a little something to the painting. I still like making watercolors too so if anyone is interested in purchasing this art contact me at steve@bergerfinearts.com.

U.S. Constitution Art


It was time to stretch my calligraphic skills again and I wanted to do something with the preamble to the U.S. Constitution which I have included in my Historic U.S. Flag series.

My goal was to use type as part of the design to represent a waving flag and keep it interesting enough with the combination of type styles to be fun and beautiful to look at.

This is another watercolor which measures 11x17. I plan on making this into a 4'x4' acrylic painting to accompany the rest of the US Flag series.

If you are interested in this painting email me at steve@inposition.biz and I will gladly make you a Giclee or watercolor print.

St Mary's Logo

I recently went home to my high school reunion and enjoyed the company of a lot people who I have not seen in a long time. People and places all change and we laughed and talked about the changes in our lives since we were last together. It made the evening a lot of fun.

I did notice that every five years or so when I come back for a reunion that buildings that I thought would be there long after I was gone are disappearing.

First it was St. Mary's grade school, then they the St. Mary's High School was demolished and finally this year it was St. Mary's Church. The church I believe was built in the early part of the century. With it being gone there is nothing left to even recognize that St.Mary's school or parish ever existed. Its all in our memories now and they too will fade.

At any rate I thought I would make a painting to at least keep some of the memories fresh and to remind others who never knew about St. Mary's that the school existed and the events that happened there shaped a lot of kids for a lot of years. Enough said.
