J. Seward Johnson created the artwork of a sailor kissing a nurse based on a photo taken on the day World War II ended. The 25-foot-tall, 6,000-pound sculpture is called “Unconditional Surrender”
The concept of surrender has always eluded me. What does it really mean? Surrender in spirituality and religion means that a believer completely gives up his own will and subjects his thoughts, ideas, and deeds to the will and teachings of a divine power or deity.
The concept plays a role in several religions, such as Christianity, Islam (a word which literally means "submission"), Sikhism, and Hinduism, as well as some mystic and esoteric traditions.
"The term is also used in a similar manner, in some schools and approaches to psychology, in which sense it is an antonym of hostility, signifying something akin to acceptance of ones own nature and that of the world." (Wikidpedia)
This was the begining of my fascination with Mandalas and using them as therapeutic aids for relaxation and meditation. Notice the intense feeling of movement/restlessness...the wind blowing through the trees....new spring growth..symbolizing by the heart color chakra lime green.....and yet the focusing aspect of the circle...the calming center. I mark this piece and the symbolic 'new begining' on my road to recovery.

"Surrendered by the capitulation of Yorktown on Oct 19, 1781"
Found in front of the Wren Building on the campus of the College of William & Mary. The oldest college building in the United States.
I was craving nachos so much that it was becoming a distraction. Finally I gave in. Sometimes you just have to listen to what your body tells you. My body told me: "Give me nachos."
Here's some photos from a figure giveaway contest I entered last year. I didn't win but I really enjoyed just participating.
I kept it pretty simple.
I wanted to focus on the German. He managed to get enough courage up to surrender, but now will he help the enemy by giving away German positions?

Graphic for Westwind Church's "Surrender" theme for Lent.
Was trying to indicate surrender with something graphic. At the same time, I was trying to steer clear of any photographic images in the artwork.
This is my first attempt at putting into pixels what I first sketched out in my notebook - would love feedback and critique.
Lentamente muore
Lentamente muore chi diventa schiavo dell'abitudine, ripetendo ogni
giorno gli stessi percorsi, chi non cambia la marca, chi non
rischia e cambia colore dei vestiti, chi non parla a chi non conosce.
Muore lentamente chi evita una passione, chi preferisce il nero su
bianco e i puntini sulle "i" piuttosto che un insieme di emozioni,
proprio quelle che fanno brillare gli occhi, quelle che fanno di uno
sbadiglio un sorriso, quelle che fanno battere il cuore davanti
all'errore e ai sentimenti.
Lentamente muore chi non capovolge il tavolo, chi è infelice sul
lavoro, chi non rischia la certezza per l'incertezza, per inseguire un
sogno, chi non si permette almeno una volta nella vita di fuggire ai
consigli sensati. Lentamente muore chi non viaggia, chi non legge, chi
non ascolta musica, chi non trova grazia in se stesso. Muore lentamente
chi distrugge l'amor proprio, chi non si lascia aiutare; chi passa i
giorni a lamentarsi della propria sfortuna o della pioggia incessante.
Lentamente muore chi abbandona un progetto prima di iniziarlo, chi non
fa domande sugli argomenti che non conosce, chi non risponde quando gli
chiedono qualcosa che conosce.
Evitiamo la morte a piccole dosi, ricordando sempre che essere vivo
richiede uno sforzo di gran lunga maggiore del semplice fatto di
respirare.
Soltanto l'ardente pazienza porterà al raggiungimento di una splendida
felicità.
(P. Neruda)
Here, following a council of war with Brig. Gens. Floyd and Pillow, Brig. Gen. Simon B. Buckner surrendered the Confederate defenders of Fort Donelson to Maj. Gen. U.S. Grant, USA. The two senior Confederate generals, having abandoned command, escaped. Lt. Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest, refusing to agree to the surrender, led his cavalry regiment and a number of infantrymen out of the defenses without losing a man or meeting opposition.
