In my drawing I was inspired by gratitude for being together with these nations. Creating art to bring peace and harmony among people of all nations.

My work has a planet earth that symbolizes the gratitude of people in the world. It  also has a heart that can continue to bring joy, faith, happiness, love, compassion, and empathy among other feelings that only gratitde can bring us.

Gratitude is a feeling that most people should have.  For example, I am very grateful to be presenting this art, I am grateful even when I wake up.  Gratitude is a state of mind that should befor life.  Be grateful!

My art was inspired by my gratitude. Sometimes I realize that many people don't say thank you.  The meaning of my drawing is that we need to have gratitude within us, and we must learn to be grateful for not only the big things, but also for the simple things.  We often don't value the simplest  things that make us exist.  Even when we go through difficult things in life, we have to be thankful for the simplest things.

Their is a very intelligent person who told me "the more we are grateful, the more good things happen."  This phrase inspired me to write this text. We have to be grateful, "gratitude is gratitude."

I made my art to symbolize gratitude to god for having created the world and for giving life to it with animals, trees and the sky.  The message I want to convay with this art is "be grateful for your world, be grateful for all the riches it has to offer you."

In my art, the boy is very grateful for the world he lives in.  He is symbolizing the peace of this place.  He is taking care of his environment by taking out the trash, watering the plants, and feeding the animals.

My work symbolizes the union of everyone in the world.  I made the world to show that everyone will always be together and people will hold hands.  I wanted to show that being together is rewarding.  Gratitude is something that can bring us many feelings of love, peace, and affection.  I use the word gratitude a lot in my life.

I made the hands because they represent the union of countries.  Each country is holding the other's hand because they are willing to help each other.  These countries are willing to give and receive love, affection, gratitude, unity, empathy, and respect.

My art is composed of a dream mandala. I added a bit of nature that is part of our nation.  I painted an airplane and planet earth showing how we can get closer and visit one another.  The sparkles signify beauty.  The character in the center of the painting symbolizes the practice of gratitude and peace.

Every detail in my painting has important meaning. The beans represent food, and we must not forget that there are many people starving.  Second, the tree represents life.  I am grateful everyday for my life. The third is the heart that represents the love of my mother and father. Finally the home, be grateful for your home because many people have nowhere to live.  We need to have a vision of everything we have in our life and have GRATITUDE.
