I really like the impact of the simple line drawing, but feel something is missing, perhaps more detail on the hands? He looks like he is pushing her hand away more than holding it? And after reading the narrative I wonder if thats an unconcious expression on your part... I like the simplicity of the lines, the cleaness of it..

Wonderful sketch. I so love the story behind the sketch. Everything happens for a reason they all say. I only wish I could draw my story like you can. For me it would be a great release of many painful moments. Thank you for sharing really appreciate your work. As you can tell I am unable to sleep.

kind critic-- I began when my ex dumped us, in a new city, knowing no one, leaving not a penny for food. I ran around all day trying to sort things out, and sat all night paintings, none of this was created in the day time..Oh yes, I sketched some in the day, quickly, line then worked night after night, every night. a couple of hours sleep and on to the day. the human body does not automatically need 9 hours of sleep. I worked for years like this and all my horrors -and there have been a few, are on paper, even if not recognised by anyone but myself! Try sketching, do patterns at first if all else fails you. I have a whole folder of what I did back then, armchairs, the curtains, the tv, the corner.. I will put them on one day, merely in biro on paper! and step by step I returned to see art as art, not merely a relief for my terrible fear: dumped yet again, country, parents, husband, fiances, -- and having to cope with my children's fear of the same as mine.. thank you
