Values and Dreams

"This drawing was Influenced by a story of a friend of mine who may have to go live on the streets. Her mother can?t get a job and has health issues. I as well lived on my own and came close to the Streets. Knowing how scary it is to have that thought cross your mind is pretty inspiring. The smudges on this girls face and messy hair shows the poverty. However, my two focal points are the eyes and the necklace. Her eyes are full of hope, encouragement, idea?s, dreams, like everyone else would be thinking. Wanting, yearning, and wishing.
The necklace represents value, showing that everyone in life has some sort of value and dreams."
