Peace - a Painting

Every painting these days seems to be a little different from the others. This one is a little darker and then again a bit more playful. The writing around her reads: "she felt peace wash over her." I like that feeling.

And because today is my little sister's birthday, I am dedicating this post to her! Happy birthday, Caroline!!

  3. What just happened. Did I delete my unfinished comment, or did I inadvertently send it? Anyway, I was going to say that I like the halo like glow of this painting.

  5. She has a Madonna quality with stars in her hair. She is gorgeous. One of my favorites for sure. You are a mother of creation. A mother of joy and kindness. Glad to know you. Blessings.

  26. Good morning, Silke! Aah, she DOES have a very content, peaceful face. Her halo is lovely, and her face seems luminescent against the rich background. I love that flower on the side, too.

    Hope your sister had a fantastic birthday! YAY!
