When I created this art piece a month or so ago, it came from the heart.

Painting: Darkness Falls in a Color Display ~ 12" x 12" x 1.5" ~ Acrylic/Mixed Media on Canvas

And Memorial Day is the perfect day that represents its wishes and meaning.

Darkness can mean many things to society.

There are 2 very important aspects of darkness that give meaning and pleasure to most.

The color display that accompanies the night sky as darkness falls is an absolute wonder to behold.

And at night many people send up love to the deep, dark universe for loved ones who have passed before them.

Some send their love up there for a better society in hopes that it will go where it is needed most.

My meaning for this painting was about the people I had lost but had sacrificed for me and my desire for a more stable society.

I had a husband who died too young because of the effects on his body and mind from serving in war. So this is a day that speaks to him.

War does terrible things to those who fight in it.

But I also feel that Memorial Day, because it is about those who sacrificed for us, I have to include my mother here as well.

She was my hero and role model because she remained positive and inspirational for me even though she had a very trying life because of war.

She went on and created a business when it was difficult for women to do that.

And she was always helping those less fortunate than herself.

But she also remained true to her 4 daughters even though she was divorced from a husband that also suffered from the effects of war. So I send up my thoughts and blessings to  her as well today.

My hopes today is that we don’t ever hurt families again just to justify war.

My heart goes out to the people of Ukraine because I know what the effects of this war will cost to their human spirit for years to come.

 

The war is not over when the shooting and destruction stops. For many families it lasts their whole lifetime.

Look up to the sky at dusk and send your blessings to your loved ones.

But please also send up your positive thoughts for a better and more mindful society.

 

When you look at this painting, what does it say to you? Does it give you hope? Does it stimulate to send your best thoughts up to the universe?

 

I hope so. We need your help to create a better society.

 

For me, creating art is the healing process. My collectors tell me that my art reminds them to give thought to an issue and helps them heal as well.
