Lost in Thought

The tragedy of life is not so much what men suffer, but rather what they miss.

      Now that I am back from my trip I was able to get my hands on a few things to put the final touches on this drawing.  I darkened some of her clothing and some of her hair with charcoal and used some different colored pencils to give more depth to her head scarf.  The whole time I was drawing her I was under the belief that she was thinking sad thoughts but now I have changed my mind.  If she has the spunk to tie a red scarf on her head I think she must have some pretty exciting memories ~ some of which I am sure are connected to that wedding ring she still has on her finger!
