In support of Ukraine during this time of crisis I created this digital painting called "Spread Love Not War". Prints and digital downloads are currently on my site andaluztheartist.com . All proceeds will go to Razom of Ukraine a 501c organization.
Razom, which means “together” in Ukrainian, believes deeply in the enormous potential of dedicated volunteers around the world united by a single goal: to unlock the potential of Ukraine. Razom works towards that mission by creating spaces where people meet, partner and do.
As a father, husband and Christian the video of the Ukrainian father holding his daughter in tears really struck my heart. The thought of having to go to war and possibly never seeing your family again is every parent's worst nightmare. War is dark but the love for one's family, belief and country is the light that breaks through the depths of space. I pray for Ukraine and also for those Russian soldiers that are being forced to go to war with their neighbors. Many prayers go out to the whole world in Jesus Might Name. Amen.
They wrote in the old days that it is sweet and fitting to die for ones country. But in modern war there is nothing sweet nor fitting in your dying." - Ernest Hemmingway
All prints are on archival fine art matte paper
