A Surprise Piece of Long Hair Art...

[Xandergrammy]

I found out yesterday that one of the men I work with is an artist. He had his portfolio at work yesterday and I fell in love with this drawing. I'm presenting it here with his permission. The story is that one of his friends had a little girl who was asking about Heaven. Bill rendered this vision of Heaven for her. To him, it's very important to know that there are strawberries in Heaven. :gabigrin: The beautiful girl with the long hair is supposed to be the one he drew it for. I just love it. Whadda y'all think?

It's beautiful! I can see his definite love for strawberries.

I wonder why the tree has no leaves on it though...?

Hmmmm... I'll have to ask him!

[Amara]

I love all the colors!

It's lovely. I love strawberries, too. Wish I could find some that big!!:grnbiggri

[swanns]

I especially love how he drew the leaves, very pretty!

I think the tree with no leaves is symbolic for winter's "death". . .and the promise of Spring's "rebirth". . .see the bird (spirit) taking flight into heaven?

I also really love the idea of strawberries in heaven.

Wow, that's beautiful. Thank you for sharing! :flower:

[free_hug]

Well i do hope there are strawberries of this size in heaven :yumm:

[madzoo]

That picture is beautiful. I would like to have hair like that in heaven!

[nowxisxforever]

Well i do hope there are strawberries of this size in heaven :yumm:

Yes, can you imagine? A strawberry as big as a watermelon... Mmmm!

[thankyousir74]

I really like the leaves on the top, beautifully shaded (the colors and hues are great!)

[Addy]

Very beautiful!

Well, if strawberries are gonna be big as watermelons in Heaven, I want my watermelon as big as a car! :yumm:

[nowxisxforever]

Very beautiful!

Well, if strawberries are gonna be big as watermelons in Heaven, I want my watermelon as big as a car! :yumm:

Then you could hollow out one side and use it as a bathtub! Hehehe. Somehow I don't think that would be quite so tasty, but it would be fun to "bathe in watermelon" literally!

[zen_oven]

I love the detail on the strawberry leaves!

[Coriander]

That is so beautiful - straight out of a story :)

I love it!

[LisaB234]

How beautiful - the hair, the berries - but mostly that he took the time to create this art as an explanation - WOW! Thanks for sharing.

[Kiraela]

That does look like a beautiful vision of the afterlife! I definately hope there are strawberries that big, for sure!!

[Xandergrammy]

I told him that MY Heaven would be full of giant blueberries!! I love the giant watermelon idea! :grin:

[WritingPrincess]

I love this! I wish my strawberries got that big.

[EvaSimone]

Well i do hope there are strawberries of this size in heaven :yumm:

Hear! Hear!

[AprilElf]

Thanks for sharing this with us. It's really beautiful!
I love the wings and the leaves, and yummmm ... strawberries! ;)

I think it is beautiful, Leni. Whimsical with a hint of old fashioned style in the woman. This is a reason I am thinking of working more in colored pencils too. I'll have to see if he has an artist blog; thanks for his name!

[LilyMunster]

I love how she is perched on the leaf. Very pretty.

[JamieLeigh]

Oh my goodness! I love that - it looks like my 7 year old daughter. She has waist-length reddish brown wavy hair! :D

AL, he does not have an artist's blog. He says he only "creates" when he is inspired. He works a full time job and is in a band too.

Oh, that is so sweet. I love the colours of the sky, it's really ethereal. I also happen to be a lovely of strawberries, and eat them most days of the week <3 This is heaven.
