Push here for Peace

Melissa Mead, "Peace Button", 36 x 30 inches, Oil on Canvas
This is the third painting in my Abstract Series on the Belly Button.  I have had a most interesting time learning to paint loose and impressionistic.  This series has a story behind it as it's been brewing with-in me for several years now, (you can see a portion of the story here: http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=160878653952140&topic=254 ).  I loved painting this button.  It was tremendously challenging for many reasons and vastly rewarding at the completion!
