Put flowers in your cannons (oil on paper)

There are a lot of different lyrics in the world against the war. Lyrics to hope in the peace, lyrics that give a voice to all people who want to leave a quiet, normal life with no bombs from the sky. Here in Italy we use the title of an old italian song to say no to the wars: "Mettete dei fiori nei vostri cannoni" (it means: Put flowers in your cannons) played by I Giganti as a sort of proposalmore than 50 years ago .

Thinking about the people who are suffering now, the only thing I can do is to use my art to say my own "no" to the war and to represent my hearth close to the Ukraine people:

As you can see, the subject is one of my ladies in the colors of the Ucrain flag with a lot of flowers around instead of the bombs.
It's an oil painting on 200 gsm paper in A5 size and, as usual, I took some pics during the process:

Just to know, if you want to use this image to share your closeness to Ukraine people who are suffering, you can use it for free, sure!

See ya soon and stay safe,
Silvia
