Peace

12” x 16”; Watercolor on paper; 2021

There are things in life we can control, and there are things we cannot. While I cannot create peace on a large scale no matter how badly I want to, my intent with this painting was to manifest peace in my own mind. When I began to fixate on all the chaos and division in the world, I sat down and painted this dove as a small offering of peace and unity. Our thoughts become our reality; may we all find peace of mind and strive for unity with the world and people around us.
