Drawing #2 – “HOPE FOR HAITI” Series.
“Originally I did this series of Haitian children at the end of 2009. These are the real faces of kids that live on a tiny island on the Southwest edge of Haiti and in desperate need of a school. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this work WILL BE DONATED TO A CHARITY to build this school.”
To see the entire series and support these children, please visit my blog – http://reefdreamergallery.blogspot.com/

Really like how she looks straight out at us demanding we look closer. I want to grab her up in my arms. (I love the heart locket that she wears)

Just as comment in the Forum, beautiful children and wonderfully painted. They need hope and help. I want to assure you that I’ve helped. It may not have gone to your children here but I am sure children have benefitted.

These eyes are among the most expressive and beautiful I have ever seen.

The facial expression on this child speaks to your soul. Lovely.

In growing up there where a series of children done by an artist who painted them all with big wide eyes. Used to have a small picture of them but it’s long since disappeared. (your work reminds me of that series) The children of Haiti have this common haunting element. The eyes; what was before now and will be is captured here by your brush. Excellent work!
