Guardians of Peace

40x60

Original mixed media oil and mother of pearl 

I couldn't stop thinking of these sweet manatees after having a dream of swimming with them, and petting a baby one. And I knew I had to paint this dream. They symbolize so many beautiful things: tranquility, wisdom, resilience and gentleness. At this time in my life, I'm realizing these qualities may be overlooked bu are so very important. Peace is a treasure, + and I hope this painting helps bring that into your life...
