TITLE: \u00a0POCHE FLAG<\/h4>\n

SIZE: \u00a011″x 14″ paint pen on Fredrix Pro Series Archival Canvas Board.<\/h4>\n

In Capo Beach, right outside of San Clemente, CA, there’s an area called Poche Beach.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

One day, many years ago, a big storm washed\u00a0the remnant of a giant tree up on the shore\u00a0at Poche.\u00a0 Someone saw that big piece of driftwood and placed a flagpole in it, and then erected an American flag.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

The Poche Flag has\u00a0been through many storms and winds.\u00a0 It still stands there today, as a tribute to our country and our veterans.\u00a0 You could say it’s become a local icon.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

With this winter’s El Nino storms coming, the Poche flag is going to be in for it’s biggest fight yet.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

I\u00a0decided to paint this iconic flag in celebration of Veterans Day today.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

What I like the best\u00a0about the Poche flag is that it happened organically. It wasn’t sanctioned by any government or organization; it was a combination of nature and man, coming together to display a love for our country and our community, on a beautiful beach.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

This painting study is available for purchase<\/del>\u00a0SOLD <\/span>to San Clemente local Steve Kuhn. He’s a huge fan of the Poche beach flag. \u00a0Glad he got it.<\/h3>\n

One of my goals with this series is to make original art affordable for\u00a0those who want it. \u00a0 If interested in adding tomorrow\u2019s to your collection, please email\u00a0info@drewbrophy.com or text or call 949-678-8133 asap!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I hope you enjoy this series. \u00a0Thanks for reading!<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
