The reason why I painted this was because of the types of paint i was given to work with and this is what came to mind. Why would the maldives or sierra leone flag come to mind? Well the reason is because i'm a big history buff and and I like to explore places around the world. Maldives is a beautiful destination with crystal clear waters, clean air, and soft beaches. Sierra Leone has a good historical background consisting of freeing the enslaved africans from england to sierra leone where they lived out their days free and built up the country from the ground up. It is a very interesting history and I plan on studying more about it.
