We carry all the blueprint of love IN us but who knows? Who will awaken, now? Very strong art with a mesage, I like, Annette!

Powerful work of art Annette!

im not religous at all but i really feel the same way about the state of our world today ....what frightens me though is that when im really really honest to myself i can see parts of those "people" within myself.

Gavin North 20 May 2008

I could agree with you more Annette, people speak of peace, but rarely do they achieve it, this is a simply bold and powerful work, you have really got me thinking, and to me that is what art should do, truly excellent work my friend

Charles Jones 05 Mar 2008

I wish I could see this a bit clearer, Annette, but I like what I see. Yes, if we live with hypocrisy so long we begin thinking he's a friend, when he's anything but. There is something dreadfully wrong when 1 in 100 Americans are behind bars, don't you think?

Wonderfulpainting and great words!

Greg Dubois 10 Jan 2008

I love your war stuff because they come from emotion, and passion, and symbolism, like the distorted twisted figure in your work, it reminds me of those that would make unrighteous war, twisted and ugly. (but your expression of an idea and bringing it into the world is beautiful and noble. dats' what I like to see in art Annette, and I agree with your description 110% no 200% ...

Charlene Zatloukal 09 Jan 2008

Annetee: you picture is very great.The plain truth.Very schematic.¡Very different!. Kiss. jose

Adam Pinson 05 Dec 2007

This one sticks out to me. I have read what you meant by it. It does show power of emotion and just hectic feeling and lot's going on. I think the foundation of this land has taken an awful turn fromw hat the true purpose was suppose to be. That's what freedom of speech has done. Your work show's power and transformation that's for sure! Great work.

Vivian Gutierrez 21 Nov 2007

very strong compostion

julie Marks 21 Oct 2007

I love the power of your message, both visually and verbally. I just wrote about the same issue in my piece, brotherhood. More people need to wake up and take action to repair the damage done to our planet before it is to late. I applaud you for making your bold, but essential message to those who choose to ignore the chaos in our troubled world.

Monika Moore 24 Jun 2007

All we have is ourselves. Period. The beauty, the power, the adventure ... fun, happiness, pain, sadness, compassion ... ALL of that, ultimately, embedded or grown into our souls. I deeply believe that. I think that we just have to learn how to utilize all of that daily. ~M

Karen Cash 21 Jun 2007

wonderful powerful piece Annette!

Sally Pulford 21 Jun 2007

Hi Annette. While I certainly don't find this "beautiful", I think that it conveys your sentiments. Great worldly power vs. Great Spiritual Power. The main figure that looks like it's pointing a weapon is so threatening and aggressive. The hope painted figures and sentiments look distant, but is still present. What a statement you've given us...such impact. Well done Annette...you have spoken more with paint that your words.

Anne Vis 21 Jun 2007

Beautiful work, Annette and great text!

joe valcourt 21 Jun 2007

great execution and theme

Joey Supina 21 Jun 2007

Annette: I am moved by your painting and the accompanying words you so eloquently have spoken.

Andree Lerat 21 Jun 2007

Very nice work Annette. The twisting dark shape has trapped the essence of peace.
