​Day 17 – 'Peace'

6" x 6" – pastel framed

Today's painting was inspired by the people of Ukraine.

The sunflower is Ukraine's national flower and has historically represented peace. I saw a picture earlier this summer of a young woman leaving her hometown with her elderly grandmother clutching onto her arm. It was so touching to see these two ladies together, not knowing if they will ever return or what will happen to them in the days ahead. So many stories of bravery, I pray for peace for this country.
