Some info about the Lithuanian flag and also my attempt to create the colors of the flag with leaves.
Lithuania Flag
The
flag of Lithuania was officially adopted on March 20, 1989. The
Lithuanian flag was reprised after it regained independence from the Soviet Union. Before the re-adoption of the flag of Lithuania it was originally in use till 1940, when it was annexed by the Soviet Union. The idea of the tricolor used in the
flag of Lithuania stemmed from the flag of French Revolution. The yellow color symbolizes the country's wheat fields, green symbolizes forests and red stands for the patriotic spirit. The colors together signify hope for the future, freedom from oppression and the undaunted courage of the Lithuanian people.
