The white dove of peace

The theme this week at Inspiration Avenue is simplicity.
While I am quite good at complicated.....
(see me last week standing in the sun flapping my arms, jumping up and trying to fly.)

I  actually love simple best.

 Thus a simple dove sitting in peace.

    So peaceful indeed - I love how your wove your signature into the branch, very clever. I enjoyed this challenge - stripping everything back and am loving all these wonderful entries.

    I can't draw even the simplest line, so this drawing is really gorgeous. I am so in awe of your skills, and the fact you think this bird is simple, says a lot for your drawing ability. What a wonderful entry!

    Hi Gemma. I love it. It is simple and pure and your signature as part of the branch is very very clever. If only I could be so clever. :)) Have a great week.

    It is said that "less is more" and this drawing personifies that statement. It's simply beautiful, and speaks multitudes of thoughts and feelings. I love it!

    I echo everyone here. Your dove is very beautiful and his bowed head evokes feelings of tranquility. Wonderful, Gemma.
