Wounded Peace

                                                        Wounded Peace 

 The world has never been at peace.  Two world wars, Iran, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and many conflicts all over.  This painting by the author is dedicated to peace in today's troubled Ukraine. 

Peace they bring these white doves in the sky;
passing over Flanders's Field of long ago,
when suddenly fired upon from down below;
it's history repeating the battle cry. - avr

“We must combine the toughness of the serpent with the softness of the dove, a tough mind and a tender heart.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.

“And there my little doves did sit, with feathers softly brown and glittering eyes that showed their right to general nature’s deep delight.” – Elizabeth Barrett Browning

“And the dove came to him in the evening; and lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off. So Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.” – Genesis 8:11
