Hi friends. Hope you’re all well. It’s been troubling me greatly, that with everything going on in the world we have also witness incredibly injustices on the basis of race. It inspired me to do this painting with black, white and the gold in the middle representing that there’s goodness and love and kindness- and it’s in us, regardless of the colour of our skin. People can have a heart of gold if they wish. Hope you like this one. Peace and love, Dalia 🙏🏿🙏🏾🙏🏽🙏🏻🙏🏼🌈

I think it is a very symbolic piece and I like it very much. It is true there is much racial injustice and hopefully through peaceful protest and education and ongoing recognition of changes needed to stamp it out, things may begin to improve. We should treat everyone with respect regardless of race, gender, religious beliefs, disability, sexuality or social background. 😊🌸

Absolutely agree, we are all the same, and the only difference the skin colour makes is an indication of a better natural sunscreen.

Look at us whiteys on the beach in the summer, trying to get some of the brown skin that we so despise. Hypocritical in my view.

I will interact with anyone who will interact with me. I don't care where they are from or what they believe, We can all get along if we try.

Cheers, Midori

Truly amazing and very symbolic to illustrate the divide between black and white and pure gold to showcase the precious commodity of kindness

Hello

How are you

You are clearly very talented and gifted

Many would pay to have such a wonderful piece of art in their living room

My favourite colour combination has always been black and gold.

I am ok

I am learning that it is up to me to determine the course of my life but again all that we do is by the will of Allah

I realise I have an overpowering Mother but I am learning not to be engulfed by the worries of Mum but I always

How is your Mother

My Mother is also the Asian equivalent of Superwoman and she is a tiny little 72 year old

I call her the Pocket Rocket

That’s so lovely of you to say- I don’t feel that my paintings are good enough to sell, but I’ve had a few comments of similar nature today so that’s really encouraging. I might do some more of these paintings maybe on a smaller scale.. and if so, if you would like one, message me and I’ll post one to you. 🌸

I’m glad you’re taking control over your life’s decision- and of course we can make plans and ask for guidance above. Acceptance of circumstances and of people and empowerment to move on for your own life to be fulfilled is a great thing. 🌺

Good Afternoon

I hope you are well

It is astounding your talent but you do not see your innate gift.

I hope one day to sell a flat I own as currently when it is rented it provides me with a source of income.

Once I find employment I hope to sell the flat and buy a small home I have already seen and then I would commission you to do a small painting for me in black and gold

How is your Mum ?

I have a great liking of Beatrix Potter and Peter Rabbit

I told my Mother I would like to see Peter Rabbit, Mum replied I would like to see Peter Rabbit

Thank you for posting this painting.

Clearly we in the USA have yet to deal with our country’s original sin. I literally found myself tearing up several times this spring as videos have surfaced showing white people (many police officers or former police officers but others are white people who aren’t police officers) killing some of my fellow citizens based solely on the color of their skin.

We have so much we could learn from other countries.

But this time it seems different for us. Huge protests occurring throughout the country and the world. The protesters in the USA are from all races, all genders, all ages (although most are younger people). It’s as though we each said after watching the video of Mr George Floyd’s murder, “Enough!!!”

So I hope that we’re finally ready to deal with our original sin. We’re going to need help, support from people throughout the world. We’re going to need help getting to a better place.

Former President Obama gave a national address yesterday. I was so very glad to hear from him. While he acknowledges that much work needs to be done and gave us specific first steps, he also conveyed a genuine sense of optimism. He is convinced that the time is right; that this is different. So after watching our current president order the military to take action against American citizens engaging in a peaceful protest outside the White House solely so he could walk across the street for a photo op in front of a church creating the sense that our democracy might be in its twilight hours, former President Obama's words provided a sense of calmness. He gave us vision for a better future. He gave us hope.

Former Vice President Biden, who will run against President Trump for election in November, had also spoken to the nation the day before. His address was also helpful.

But as I’ve said, this will require commitment and hard work. We’ve got much we could learn from several other countries throughout the world. We’ll need support and help from our allies.

Thank you for listening🐶 And, again, thank you so very much for posting this painting.

I stand with you all in the US injustices such as what happened to Mr Floyd and others like him must never been forgotten we need to keep reminding and fighting- whether that’s seeing a friend or colleague being racially discriminated against or the scale in which we have witnessed. We shouldn’t turn away and stay silent. It’s so tragic that it took a global protest for the government to arrest and charge those officers with murder, but I’m glad it’s done. You’re right and I agree with Everything you said on this. Please take comfort in knowing you’re not alone and we stand with you all suffering like this in the US. We can all certainly learn from each other. Thank you for writing and taking the time expressing your thoughts and to look at my painting. Wishing you a great day ❤️

in reply to Jayhawker

I also stand with you in all that has happened in the US. We should all stand with you. It should not be happening. I'm so pleased the officers have been charged with murder, I think this only happened because if the protests. Lots of love Lynne 🌈🙏
