Congratulations to my dear friend, Vera Dohrenbusch, for being in the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition 2017 -- second year running! Her work is dreamlike and peaceful. I am proud to be a collector and have it on my walls!
'We all are alike; we have merely adopted differing cultures. '
Respect is a necessary element in achieving peace. If we do not respect one another, we do not respect ourselves, for we are all one on Earth. And it will not be our wars that our descendants remember a thousand years from now, it will be our achievements of the mind and spirit. We must emphasise the characteristics of Man that make him Man, and pass that philosophy on to our children. In time, those characteristics -- reason, knowledge, and justice -- will take their rightful places as the ambitions of all men and women, and fighting will be a concept that will be looked upon with neither understanding nor sympathy.

Here's what Gai McNeill did with the greeting cards she bought from me on Etsy! If you'd like to do something similar, here is a link to my store. And if you've any questions about how she achieved it, let me know and I'll pass them along to her!
This afternoon I started a painting of my mom
Now that I'm back to working full-time, I'm going to have to cram all my painting into the weekends. This afternoon, I started a portrait of my mom, based on a black and white photo from when she was in her twenties. Hopefully next Sunday, I'll be able to post the finished version.
