Do not show your wounded finger, for everything will knock up against it.Baltasar Gracian
From the moment I saw this little girl's picture I knew she had seen things she wasn't meant to see. Although her clothes lead me to believe she was from a well-to-do family, living her early years in a war torn country clearly left its mark on her face. As I mentioned when I started this drawing, I have no idea who she is or where she is now. She just looks, though, that she learned early on to hide her wounded finger. Beneath the fancy dress and shiny ribbon, I think beat the heart of a strong and courageous little lady. I'm going to miss working on her.
