Dispelling the Darkness

Dispelling the Darkness - Acrylic




When I sat down to paint all I could see was 'war zone'. Grey smoke covered the canvas with the horrors of today's wars. Acts of terrorism, killings, fear and confusion. 
Then one by one, butterflies flew into the zone. More and more of them. Increasing in volume as they came in. Like a trickle of water growing into a river.
 These tiny, seemingly harmless creatures pressed into the chaos and pushed it off the canvas. 
They are our words. Our prayers, our compassion, our love.
They have the power to dispel the darkness.
