    You have put as much thought into this as the subject has. Longfellow knew a thing or too.

    Mine is not a smiley face, and I am often asked if everything is OK? Inside I'm usually singing - but only I hear the tunes!

    Wow wow wow wow...this reminds me of the Existentialists work - the nothingness - the everythingness in the Void. It is a shuttering piece of work. Powerful, Intense and yet so incredibly mysterious! Lovies, Samara

    This is stunning. You have such a gift for capturing the human condition and I love the way this person almost seems to fade into the background at the right of the piece. Thanks for your comment on my blog and yes, an agent would be lovely - I'll keep dreaming!
