WOW A-Angel - this is really beautiful. So sad how many talented artists are not recognized until after their day is passed. What a wonderful homage.

Lovely Piece!

Wow...so very moving. I often wonder how many masterpieces lie in forgotten binders that somehow never made it to publishing...it is sad in a way. Thank heavens for a time when such things can be found and put out on sites like these, to finally inspire.

Thanks

Jeff
