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.
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.
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.
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: Custom and oversized photographic prints are available. Please contact the studio directly to discuss custom framing, matting, or specialized museum glass options.
