Description
I painted this little girl from Darfur for a Fundraiser and I donated all proceeds to UNHCR to aid the people of Darfur. A year later I was invited to Washington DC for the Annual Refugee Day conference, where I listened to refugees as they told their horrific stories. Everyone on the podium and in the audience wept and the cruelty that many children are subjected to. I will never forget that conference I truly hope that my work can make a difference in the life of others.

Hi, Enzie! I hope Eddie Beck above is right about the peace, etc., in her eyes. To me it is fear and uncertain about the immediate present, determination, yes, but little hope against overwhelming odds. Maybe I'm letting my predisposition from the news of the many, many months of rape and plunder, destruction, relocation, all the spoils of war. Whatever, the photo is a masterpiece, and the girl is beautiful beyond my imagination. And I think that some of the qualities of great art -- which I have no doubt this is, definitely -- often fill us with awe,.perhaps make us wonder and ponder the situation, its past and present, and show great lines in the composition, which this definitely does. And more. Thank you for contributing this to the universe, and may it have many more sales and wide circulation. Peace, etc., Bruce Combs

Eddie, I am so honored that you think so highly of my work. It also makes me ashamed that I have not painted another such piece for UNHCR. I think it's long over due now!
