Acrylic on wood. This is my statement about violence and peace. I studied pictures of Picasso's Guernica, Poussin's and Reni's Massacre of the Children and da Vinci's Mona Lisa right before doing it. The first three I studied because they are statements about violence. The Mona Lisa I studied because it to me is a peaceful painting. I hope this painting shows, as John Lennon said, that we need to give peace a chance.
