illustration friday: peace

Here's my submission for Illustration Friday's theme of "peace"

(click image to enlarge)

I wanted to go with something other than the usual images of peace, so I imagined a woman who has been at work all day, enjoying some peace and quiet with a good book.

Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!

It seems to me that there is no more peace than this! your style is really good, I like your collages. it's digital? and the colors you use, are so personal. I think that the palet defines your work, and yours ir very nice!

This is really nice! I love your technique of seamlessly blending photos with drawing/ painting. It looks so natural, and the colour palette is very complimentary too!

That looks veyr much like a peaceful moment to me! Reading is very peaceful! Peace in the world is wonderful but some days all I can hope for is a little shard of peace in my own world ;-)
