I like the image ... it captures the essense of childhood at the beach, but as I thought about what the child is writing it made me think of something that bothers me. Peace might be Ok but I feel that too many political ideas are being peddled by schools.
I was there. .. I painted a small part of it... My memory is fuzzy... I can not recollect where I painted. Looking for old school mates. Thanks Darren Munsell
The kids who made the nice mural could be parents themselves today.
ReplyDeleteI also dream with world full of peace. Nice blog.

ReplyDeleteThis a beautiful mural Julie all the more meaningful because it was created by the children from Bondi Public School.
