And even more tragic that she lost her life so young. Is this a portrait of her? There is such calmness, kindness and beauty in her expression.Gwen Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16393643552813213700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4792164421363270774.post-1586283015529970622010-11-02T12:04:50.474-07:002010-11-02T12:04:50.474-07:00Thanks for your thoughtful post Catherine...bloggi...Thanks for your thoughtful post Catherine...blogging and FB kept me doing the challenge.

(The drawing and the face)I am sorry to hear about the loss of your artist friend. As artists, we must trudge on. Sometimes I feel that I am trudging through some deep snow,with poor visibility, not sure which path to create. If we keep going, we will find something. If we stop we have nothing. I hear what you are saying about blogging, facebook etc. and I can't say how many times I have been close to wiping everything off the virtual world in frustration. But whatever keeps us working and motivated is a good thing. Whatever makes us rise to a challenge can't be all bad. We must trudge on.<br />Plus, all of us out here wouldn't have had the chance to learn from you and view your beautiful work.Catherine Jeffreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05461798205529014264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4792164421363270774.post-42202065072274648012010-11-01T19:26:34.646-07:002010-11-01T19:26:34.646-07:00Another reminder for all of us isn't it??
