My journey from a technical and strict discipline of forensic and composite art to fine art. I'm trying to unfurl my wings to fly into this new field but I'm still struggling to get out of my cocoon!

Adebanji's Mokeskin for the Flying Moleskin Blog
This is for the Flying Mokeskin Project. Please click on over to that Blog HERE to read about this image.
This was for Adebanji Alade's book. Please take a look at this very talented artist's work HERE.
Sheila, I left my thoughts on this piece on the Flying Moleskins entry so I won't repeat myself here. I will say that this is my favorite of all your pieces and truly brings tears to my eyes. I wish I could hug that little boy and let him stay here with me.
I had hoped this project would bring out interesting themes and artwork. Adebanji with his theme and you with your talent makes this work and project so full of passion that we can all see and appreciate. Blessing to you and your children.
Powerful. I left a comment on the Moleskin page, but wanted to say directly to you that you have captured this painful fact with such emotion. Just wonderful. Makes my heart ache.
Oh my Sheila, what a great painting of a very real problem. The figures you quoted are quite frightening, and that's just in your country. Unfortunately it is probably quadrupled in mine - a very sad state of affairs. This is a moving reminder of those 'unwanted' souls living on the streets.
I like how it is not a square canvas or that the paint goes around softly at the edges! I see you havent been blogging since last week, I tend to forget to blog!
