In Love with Ishtar 3 Painting

Reasons to collect Akitu (Mesopotamian new year) paintings in 2020. Akitu 2020 is not like every other year. Normally, this is a time when Assyrians pray and celebrate the renewal of nature with the world. However, in 2020, humanity faces a crisis of illness, death, fear, and isolation. Akitu should be a time of hope and an invitation to love, sing, help each other, and most importantly, experience nature and all her creatures. Feel the warm sun when Shamash (God of the Sun) visits in the early morning. Feel all around you, the plants, trees, ground, animals, people, and say loudly, “I love you all!” This collection was based on my pleas and prayers written in November 2019 and painted over the past several months as the world faces the COVID-19 pandemic. Peace upon you this spring, Ishtar, the queen of beauty and love, Peace to all plants and flowers, Peace to all birds and trees, Peace and love to all creatures on earth, Peace to you bright sun, Shamash!
