Old Glory Rising

from $60.00

Old Glory Rising looks straight up at a red, white, and blue hot air balloon at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, its stars and stripes radiating outward in a bold, graphic pattern against a sky streaked with warm sunrise light. Shot from directly beneath the envelope, the composition turns the balloon into a kind of patriotic mandala — symmetrical, celebratory, and unmistakably American.

The image leans fully into color and spectacle rather than restraint: saturated reds and blues, gold-kissed clouds, and the balloon's yellow pennants catching the light. It's a joyful, high-energy piece — a departure from the quieter registers found elsewhere in the collection, built for a moment of pure visual delight rather than sustained contemplation.

Design & Styling

With its vivid patriotic palette and bold graphic symmetry, Old Glory Rising works well in family rooms, offices, and celebratory or civic spaces — a striking, crowd-pleasing piece for anyone drawn to color, energy, and Americana.

Curated Pairings

To build a wall around color, celebration, and New Mexico's skies, consider this companion piece:

For a shared spirit of celebration: Pair with Balloon Parade, another vivid, joyful study of balloons in flight.

Fine Art Presentation

Available as a signed fine art print in metal, framed paper, framed canvas, and acrylic presentation formats. To preserve the vibrancy of the red, white, and blue palette, ChromaLuxe® Metal or Acrylic presentation is recommended.

Note: Larger and custom gallery sizing may be available. If custom-scale photographic prints are required for your space, please contact us to discuss specialized framing, installation considerations, and presentation options.
