Flowers for Gaza

I feel so helpless watching all the pain and madness that permeates the news. When I did this painting, I felt it was all I could do to document what went on there. My flowers are the painting. I felt her sadness so deeply. It seems the world is going completely mad! Yet there are many beautiful things that go on each day that are never in the news. It is said, if you want to change the world change yourself. My paintings try to tell a story, to show feelings. The paintings done from a place deep within me are some of my best works. I'm told my work brings a sense of joy and happiness despite the subject. There is a small voice within me that directs me. When I follow that voice, all is well. When I don't, look out!
