Great symbolism with death, or pain...death can be very painful to those who mourns...YET..Death can symbols start of new time of life, which brings new hopes for future...as the Rose blooms. There is NO SIGN for clouds in your work, this time ..James...as if there is blocks of walls...perhaps blocks of feelings. Superb pencil's work..!!
Artist Reply: Thank you Nira :D I totally agree with you on this....Norman Cousins once said “Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.”
