On the second anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine by Russia on February 24, 2022, this painting was inspired by Prayer for the Fallen danced so movingly by members of the National Ballet of Ukraine, which we were privileged to see during their Vancouver visit earlier this month. Today, our thoughts, as they are everyday, are very much with the brave people of Ukraine together with the memory of so many of their children, women and men who are no longer with us. We can only hope that there will not be a third anniversary.
 
How fortunate we are that the National Ballet of Ukraine has made Prayer for the Fallen available on YouTube for us all to be moved and inspired by.
 

Slava Ukraini
