This is a piece I did some time ago, a few decades…
who knows what I was thinking then! "Olives", I still like them today 🙂
The dove and the olive first appeared together in the
biblical story of the Noah and the Ark.
But how did this symbolize
"peace"?

"Peace" must have a deeper meaning that includes profound emotions such as
forgiveness, gratitude, hope and love.
Many years of peace are necessary to grow olive trees,
they take several years to produce their first fruit and can live for 1,500 years.
I love this so …….
the color palette, and of course the olives.
your clickable e-stamps, what a fantastic idea.
