We as adults, must teach our children well to be happy and thankful,to have faith in themselves. We can accomplish through positive THOUGHTS, using positive WORDS and by positive ACTIONS. Then war will leave the planet. painting is sold!

AWESOME WORDS!!!!!! SO TRUE!!!!!Anonymous Guest 04 Feb 2008
de schreeuw van Munch was de eerste gedachte die bij mij opkwam. Pijnlijk om te zien maar met een reden geschilderd met een juiste tekst! xo mkjulie Marks 20 Jan 2008
Fabulous colors and critical message paired with this bold and powerful painting. I am glad you portrayed her screaming with the suggestion of blood on her wounded face. I worked as a Psychologist at the VA hospital during the Vietnam war and had contact with the physically and psychologically wounded soldiers. They were extremely traumatized by the brutality and senseless killing of their friends and devoted soldiers. Your message needs a very loud voice to penetrate the minds of those who support the destruction of war that leaves children without a parent and ends the life of young men before they have a chance to live a full life. It is the bold truth that needs to be communicated and as you said through action, not passive rheteroic, we must return to global harmony and hopefully never see another war. Thanks Annette for sharing your critical message at a time when we can elect a President that hopefully will end this horrific war so our country can once again live in harmony and not fear the future for our children. Fantastic work!!Darlene Bayne 15 Jan 2008

Positive commentary for an unpeaceful planet. Expressive pose with the right colors to get the point across whether intended or not. The reds symbolzing blood,chaos and destruction, the green the planet , the child representing the future, and how one color is locked in a struggle to overcome the other.joe valcourt 23 Nov 2007
