This painting was inspired by the logo of the Culture of Peace News Network When we think of peace and loving relationships, first there is the relationship that inspires us. Then there is the song or the painting or the sculpture that mirrors that inspiration. We speak of the muse. And finally there is a need to transfer the awareness of this relationship into a hallelujah that all can share.

For a more extensive look at both the logo and the theory, link to The Logo as Expression and Communication.
