Kashmiri children warm their hands over a fire in Drangyari, 130 km Northwest of Srinagar, November 20, 2005... soft pastel on Canson Mi Tientes paper. From a Reuters photograph that appeared in the Philippine Daily Inquirer of November 22, 2005 It looks a bit cartoonish but I was very happy with the outcome of this painting. Probably my best effort to date.

Hi Victor - you definetly should do more pastels, this is fantastic and such a poignat piece

Artist Reply: Thanks for the feedback! The piece owes more to the skill of the original photographer. It was a great photo to start with. I just hope I managed to capture some of its intensity...
