Description
Watercolor pencil and colored pencil on Mi-Teintes 9 x 12 pastel paper.Photographer Lee Jeffries captured several portraits of homeless individuals, to bring attention to their plight. Each face tells a different story of a life filled with challenges. And each will have an emotional impact on you!
Most times people are uncomfortable and barely look, as they quickly pass by. But we need to remember... there is a person behind those eyes!

Choosing to Live!
Winter winds chill me to the core
thoughts of summertime fade
darkened skies bring me down
I wonder if I can survive it
Something has changed inside me
I was happy once, carefree
The world has let me down
love no longer thrives
maybe it never did
A crossroad lies ahead
to continue or to sleep
to live or to die
to fight or to surrender
The days seem so short
nights linger, moon obscured
she no longer sings to me
the sun used to make me smile
he taunts me now (in absentia)
Memories flicker in shades of gray
childhood dreams lurk in misty shadow
we live just to die
the only question is when
and yet... and yet...
an echo, a voice from afar
gently, softly, whispering my name
telling me that I'm not alone
begging me to hold on another day
calling me to battle
love may not thrive, but it indeed survives
in lonely pockets of time and space
like a hidden treasure
it must be sought after
light appears, a flame at first
soon a conflagration
my heart is afire
my soul, aflame with new desire

The sad expression is also well done on your drawing 
(maybe the photo of your drawing need more contrast, more black

Thanks Daniel.
I think that's because I'm a bad photographer.

No, to make photos of our art we have to have a special photographer studio and to be a professionnal photographer... I am not a good photographer. I have the same problem even if I have a good camera Canon, impossible to me, I always have to work my photos on Photoshop..."Automatic contrast" before to submit it
You are very welcome dear Cher

You are either a wise man or a poet!

A wise man? Well, I've benn called a wise guy
No, I'm not a wise man Cher Nor am I a poet
I thinks it's just Philosophy, since I've become an artist I've learned see the world with other eyes.
The world is the true classroom. The most rewarding and important type of learning is through experience, seeing something with our own eyes.
Anyway, Philosophy is just common sense with big words
I'm also a romantic, these 'words' just enter my mind. I sometimes walk in the rain, others just get wet 
I also love to laugh, fool about. Laughter is the brush that sweeps away the cobwebs of our hearts Cher.
I never take myself serious, just my art work.
That's probably why I'm a bachelor I suppose. Anway, bachelors know more about women than married men; if they didn't they'd be married too.

Great job Cher. The eyes are really something else. I also like how you did the hands. Just really terrific work.

Thank you Professor!
I cringe doing hands. Thought I'd try facing my fear of drawing them!

You are welcome Cher. Good job confronting those fears. What's the worse that can happen, they look like feet?
