"Broken Hearts in the Wind"



Hello everyone!

This is my submission to IF the theme this week is "wind".

Do you ever look at a little child and your heart just breaks. Well that's what happenned to me when I looked at this picture of these darling little girls standing in the wind. I think it's all about that sweet naive innocence that is eventually grown out of that breaks our hearts. It's just so damn temporary. Like leaves blowing in the wind. They grow and change as fast as the seasons, as every year passes by... sigh.

I couldn't get the colors to scan well on this one. You are missing out on some blue-green and light pink. The blue on the original is actually almost as bright as the image you are looking at.

I created this piece on 4 x 6 inch 140 lb professional grade cold pressed watercolor paper. I used a copied photo of little girls and one of winter trees, vintage book pages, vintage sheet music, and acrylic paint.

Thanks for visiting, I hope you like what you see.

This is beautiful... I really love the colors you used and your 'circles' almost look like bubbles :)
I wonder where those girls are now... I hope they are remembering to nurture that wonderful 'inner child' within. Very touching indeed.
