Thank you so much Line! For me peace joins all sides together in a resolution of differences. I keep seeing it as an arch. Sending you all the blessings of the season!

If only peace could be drawn, arches or bridges between 2 warring sides. A fine write, Sam. All the best, Brian

Brian, thank you so much! I truly believe peace can only be achieved when warring sides decide to build bridges to each other instead of creating deeper valleys between them. So glad you liked this one! Sending you blessings of peace.

Paghunda, thank you! There were so many ways to write on this theme. Peace as an artform just kept returning to me along with peace as a gift of art. I am so glad you liked it! Sending you blessings of peace!

A reflective piece, Sam, of San Francisco's sidewalk artisans of the '70s before the candlelight vigils of the '80s ... indelible memories. My compliments for your win my friend, Aloha~William

William, my friend, thank you! Your message does bring back those days in SF when "give peace a chance" was the mantra of the day. Good advice especially for today! Mahalo for your congratulations. Always wonderful to hear from you! Aloha! Blessings!

Well expressed Sam. If only 2 conflicting lines could somehow merge in the common cause of peace. Congratulations! Be well. Brian

Thank you so much Brian. I thought about that in terms of the artwork of peace. It would truly be a wonderful thing if those divergent lines could somehow merge each putting aside ulterior motives to reach into peace! Take Care. Blessings!

I love perspective drawing. Most of my work is interior design. You, Sam must be quite the engineer! Good luck

Greeting Anaya! Thank you for your visit and best wishes! Ah, one visual artist know another!!! There are so many aspects of peace to write about but the word "art" took me in this direction! For me "peace" is an art. How wonderful to have the gift of interior design - an art that affects people by creating "art" to be lived in every day! I too love perspective drawing! Sending you bunches of blessings for the art of your hands!

Dearest Evelyn, thank you so much for your lovely visit and your best wishes! They mean so much to me. Took me some quiet pondering to give a vision to this theme. There is so much to say. Hope you are well. Many blessings my friend!

I see the arch of a bridge, or perhaps a doorway to a church, very evocative, Sam, do you draw as well?
Kauffman Avatar

Thank you so much Michelle. I too saw a bridge but I like your church doorway image much, much better. Yes, when I get a chance, I do draw and do floral design. Do you draw? Blessings of peace to you my friend!
