"lets meet in the middle"


a friend of mine, Kristen, called me up one day and asked me if i could paint her a painting to hang in her room that would represent world peace and have bright colors and be kind of hippy looking. so i decided to paint a "suicide candle" wish is a double ended candle that people some times get tattooed on them in remembrance of some one they knew who committed suicide.the reason its called a suicide candle is because if you have a normal candle lit from one end it will burn and the flame will go out after a long period of time when its destined to. but if you light one from both ends it burns quicker, and the flame goes out long before the candle was suppose to. meaning some one who commits suicide dies before they are suppose to. so i put a peace cymbal in the canter of the candle, and the two ends of the candle are suppose to represent the two half's of the our divided world, hence the tittle " lets meet in the middle" meaning lets bring the two half's of our world together to peace... i dunno its the best i could come up with for world peace... and i just added the daisy's in there for hippy effect.
