I saw a picture and followed it to help with the outline, then after that I went with what was in my mind about colours, lines, shadows, details. This picture really resonates with me.

To me it means hard work and rough times, you have to work for what you want and there will always be barriers and things/people trying to bring you down. Some people wear their hard work and rough times on the outside but all of us wear it on the inside.

Beautiful Souls

By RM

Why should you suffer for my pain. Knowledge in this I should try to gain. Does it feel I have left you alone? It may feel I have cut you to the bone, but please believe me, my love is true, I know in the past I didn’t know what to do.
