Our outrage has turned to sorrow. Our anger has come at a price. It is time for this war to end. It is time for this world to heal. It is time for our patriots to come home to us safely now.
‘Thank you’ to artist that submitted work for the Patriot theme. In this day and time of confusion, this was a difficult theme to do.

Patriotism is so many things…I love how many different ways this can be expressed and to have different people sharing their expressions. :0)

You could not have provided a piece of artwork for this theme without having a river of passion run beneath the surface. With each stroke mixed emotions spurred on thoughts within my head. Was it the “word” the “concept” or THE CHALLENGE of getting it right. Each artist that provided a piece for this theme Got IT RIGHT. Not just because mama said so; your work touched me.
