About this month's cover artwork:
About The Painting: “Peace on Earth” was created as art for my personal holiday cards. I wanted to create something in the style of early Northern Renaissance paintings which usually depicted angels with beautiful multi-colored wings inspired by various birds such as parrots and peacocks. The angel represents the Earth being in the care of forces other than human and a wish for peace throughout the world.
