Unity

The only solution to deep-seated hatred and national instability is for all Americans to unite. When we can truly believe that every person is of equal value, if we can work together as one, if we can hold hands in trust regardless of color, creed, or circumstance, perhaps then we will be able to become a united nation. The initials BIPOC and LBGTQ+ are to be understood and honored. BIPOC stands for Black, Indigenous and People of Color. LBGTQ+ stands for Lesbian, Bi-Sexual, Gay, Trans, Queer and others.

In this painting, blue and red colors signify our two major political parties. Purple suggests a willingness to work together. The various colors of the hands honor the beauty and importance of all complexions.  The rainbow honors all LBGTQ+ people. The blue above suggests our sky and the blue below is symbolic of our planet Earth.

This painting arose from a design my son created. I loved it and turned it into a painting. It says it all. The original size is small, but it’s one of my favorite pieces.
