A 34 by 34 inch red diamond shaped canvas with a blue peace sign. The sign is surrounded by a green ring with the painting's title, "Peace A Broken Dream" painted in orange letters. The word "Peace" appears at the top of the ring, and each letter is painted in a manner that makes the them appear broken. "A Broken Dream" appears in the bottom half of the ring.

Description

I think of my peace paintings as one long poem, with each painting being a single stanza.
