Children are Humanity’s Treasures

By Elaine Losey

A textured multimedia or collage painting depicting colorful, star-shaped leaves floating down a moving stream. The artwork is created on a coarse, fibrous paper surface that gives the entire piece a speckled, granular quality. On the left side, a swirling blue field representing water flows downward, carrying a dense cluster of autumn-colored leaves in shades of crimson red, orange, and golden brown. A few stray red and brown leaves drift into the lower right corner. The right side of the composition transitions into a warm, sandy field of mottled gold, beige, and light yellow, separated from the blue water by faint, wavy strokes of purple and bright yellow paint.
Medium: Paper made from Banana Stalks, Tissue Paper and Watercolor
Dimensions: 34″ x 25″

Quote / Inspiration:

“O God! Educate these children. These children are the plants of Thine orchard, the flowers of Thy meadow, the roses of Thy garden. Let Thy rainfall upon them; let the Sun of Reality shine upon them with Thy love. Let Thy breeze refresh them in order that they may be trained, grow, and develop , and appear in the Utmos beauty. Thou art the Giver. Thou art the Compassionate.“

~ ‘Abdu’l-Baha“
