Oh my goodness! I absolutely love this. It is so amazing. I thought the partially done one was great. This is just wonderful!

I keep coming back to this post. I think it is full of emotion. You have captured your "essence" in the photo. The energy in the background makes me feel that life moves very fast and we are only here a brief time. (oh - that was deep)

(oops.. typos.. I guess that's what the preview button is for) Thank you all for the wonderful comments. A few weeks ago I was searching for something on my computer desk when I came across an old picture of me that was taken at Knoebels Grove. I was holding it in my hand for a moment, looking at it, thinking back about some things and that's when I saw the drawing. There is definite symbolism here. Thanks again and I am glad you enjoy it!
