    Hi Sarah- Love this. As I told you it has a very European flavor to me. I also love your choice of minimal earth tone color. It brings focus to the emotion of the character.

    Haunting. Never has any of your work filled me with such incredible sadness, what burden of life does he carry in silence? My heart pains for your mime. I’ll be back….

    Ah, Sarah. Such tenderness of the mime. Echo what Vikki and Rusty say.

    I think he was hangin’ with William Maltese…
    He seems very sad. Touching.:)

    He does seem to be emitting sadness….maybe he wants stay with you to be your muse, and the sadness would change to a subtle smile:)

    Thank you everyone! I appreciate your comments more than I can say.

    Sarah, I was moved by your poetry for this wee lad. Your mime calls out to be hugged and hugged. :)

    Cheryl, thank you and I think I have to agree with you!

    An exquisite piece, to be sure, in its portrayal of a discarded doll that somehow manages, likewise, to portray the total vulnerability of everyone’s lost childhood.

    Thank you, William…it’s amazing when an artwork or a written piece seems to take on a life beyond your doing all on their own :)

    Looks like someone needs a hug!

    I found myslef looking into his eyes and seeing the sadness in his heart. So I had to stroke his face and forehead (on my monitor) to let him know that he was not alone in his silence.

    Ray, I know…I didn’t realize how much until I saw this image!

    Mary Mary, I love that you were so moved, we both thank you.
