Created in response to the theme "Make Love Not War" the digital painting "Peace Upon the Water" suggests the colorful spread of peace-when peace is given a chance. Waves of peace are just beginning to ripple through the composition, reminding the viewer that the work of love and peace is just beginning. Arrayed bullets march in a patterned and starred field while missing full-metal jacket stars symbolically refer to the lives lost in war and combat. Dominating the pictorial format is a large peace sign suggesting the quiet moments of harmony and tranquility that lead to the generation of the positive emotions including love, respect, and dignity.
