behind the eyes...

between what was and
what is to come lies the vast
uncertain unknown

And with compassion for the hurting, 
You reached out Your hand,
You saw behind the eyes of sorrow 
And shared in our tears, 
Heard the sigh of the weary, 
Let the children draw near.

  10. To me these children are on a train, possibly going to visit grandparents, watching the world pass by. It's me and my brother when we were very young, and our parents put us on the train and our grandparents were there when we arrived. Your painting brought this all back to me. It's beautifully done. Thank you!

  13. This is stunning Min. I loved the first part of that quote especially - the uncertain unknown. I love how the little child at the back looks to be blowing raspberries on the glass while the one in front is looking pensively out at the passing scenery - so much of a story behind this piece making the viewer wonder who they are and where they are going.

  14. So full of soul and compassion. Your work is breathtaking. The reflections, the blur of scenery, the beautiful faces of the boys -- you put so much into your paintings. Thanks for sharing them with us.
