In lieu of traditional canvas, David SchwARTZ is using decommissioned American flags as the foundation for this latest series, American Icons. He discovered the flags, bundled up and ready for the local dumpster and was devastated to see that the symbol of American Democracy had been discarded in this way.

Inspired on a trip to Washington D.C., SchwARTZ returned home to stretch the first canvas and create "American Capitol."  Today, people from around the world are gifting flags to him.  One of the most recent contributions was from the son of a soldier who fought the Battle of the Bulge in WWII for the purpose of honoring the men and women who made such extraordinary sacrifices to ensure American values and principles.

Original piece was painted with Oil paint and ink on cradle board.

Beautiful, majestic, powerful, cunning, fierce…The Jaguar is my favorite of the big cats.

Very few people realize that Jaguars are native to my home state, Arizona. The Mayans believed that the Jaguar could cross between worlds. Mayan rulers incorporated “Jaguar” into their family name. this is part of the reason for the name “Two Monarchs.”

When painting this majestic fellow, I noticed that the pattern on his forehead resembled a butterfly. I thought that maybe someday I should paint a Jaguar with a butterfly on its forehead… Nah! That would silly, (and totally out of character for me)! LOL! But something in my head kept daring me to do it…I’ve read that Navajo people associate butterflies with temptation and foolishness so, what the heck!?

I hope you enjoy the interplay of majesty and playfulness in this piece. 20x24” matted

I hope to paint many more paintings and hope that my skills continue to improve. Although I doubt that this will be the best painting I ever do, I think it will be the most important. This was my first painting in roughly 40 years. So, I had to teach myself to paint again. Luckily, my dear friend and amazing artist was kind enough to answer my many calls and give me help and direction. Even with his help, I eventually got stuck and went nearly a year without touching it.

Care instructions: 

This table is finished with Odie’s oil: 

Cleaning and maintenance

• Regular cleaning: Wipe the surface with a damp cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use mild soap (like Dawn) and water, then wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleanser or paper towels, please only use cotton or microfiber cloth.

"For the 25th Anniversary Sister Cities Christmas mug, I wanted to break away from the usual snow-covered evergreens and jolly old Saint Nick, and instead celebrate Christmas through the lens of our shared desert home. Using my signature prismatic palette, I filled the scene with the vibrant wildlife and plants that make our region so unique, all gathered together as friends around a glowing poinsettia “tree” in full festive bloom.
This is a Christmas of warmth, wonder, and togetherness—desert-style. A joyful reminder that the holiday spirit thrives wherever friends come together to share beauty, light, and a little magic, no matter the landscape."
