This week’s theme: Landscapes / Today’s Daily Art Prompt: I Stand With Ukraine / Medium: Acrylic on Gessoed Watercolor Paper / Daily Art Count: 51/100

The Ukrainian people have been on my heart, so I couldn’t paint a landscape today without paying tribute to their incredible courage and resolve. I call on all world leaders to support Ukraine in any way possible as they give up their very lives for their freedom. Please consider donating to aid Ukraine during this time.

“The meaning of color gold has long been viewed as a symbol of wealth or anything material. In combination with blue, a color of sky which symbolizes freedom, the Ukrainian flag represents the “Freedom above bread” idea: in other words, freedom above anything material.

The Ukrainian flag was light blue over yellow prior to the establishment of the Soviet Republic. Used sparingly, blue signifies blue skies, which symbolizes freedom. Sky above grain, or “freedom above bread” is the meaning of the Ukrainian flag.” — From Wikipedia, “National colours of Ukraine”
