yes tears
are a part of life
deep feelings flow
like the vast ocean
tears of joy
tears of sadness
and
and
acceptance
of being with what is
~
this piece was made by sketching with Tombow markers
then taking a wet brush to it
then laying on more markers
then more wet brush
then in the end a wee bit of prismacolor pencils

Very pretty drawing. It's so true that we need our tears and sad times -- they make our happy times that much sweeter? Thank you for sharing your picture from Italy. I am swooning over those moorish windows.
