Rose is an example for all of us, I so admire how she is hurting, but still manages a smile. The composition and colors in this piece are especially wonderful!

They are fantastic. Are they colored pencil?<br /><br />I love your lines.<br /><br />Your story telling is quite captivating. Ah! Yes, perhaps we may be cynical ourselves but we need people like Rose. They remind us that life is not about pain and sorrow, struggles and hardships but about joy and laughter, love and little triumphs that sum up to a life well lived.<br /><br />Keep on creating. It is wonderful that we have art to balance our loves.Ces Adoriohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17338000465619901229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630731538113577852.post-44627420810162399972010-02-23T17:39:31.774+07:002010-02-23T17:39:31.774+07:00Thanks Krista!

I held these values through reading fairy tales as a child and today after living through pain and difficulties I still believe they're true. I know that love is the true purpose of our lives.
