I did a quick sketch this morning from a photo I took of a man by Muriwai Beach. It is very fast and rough in colour pencils. I will not work so much on Virily but pause to put another post later today because I have been working on an oil painting
This verse somehow comforts me, that no matter what all people are human and no matter where we come from, we are often frail and made of clay.
I think some people seem to be above everyone else, but we are not really,,,as individual in differences we are the same, human.
What do you think of it?
Thanks so much Tasartcraft………
being made of clay is a metaphor I see all throughout the old testament. I wonder what it meant to the Jews back then…
Yes, clay probably looked like human skin at one time. Thanks Alex.
Beautiful sketch. Some people just think they are more than others. But once all fall to earth.
Thanks Vidocka, very true what you say….
You are so talented, I love the details here.
Thanks Carol, glad you like it.
I think you gave this person a picture of a lot of imagination and loneliness. I see it in the picture.
Maybe you are right Robin. Thanks for an interesting comment………
That is a great inspirational quote Pam!
Have you read the works of Henri Nouwen?
Somewhere we know that without silence words lose their meaning, that without listening speaking no longer heals, that without distance closeness cannot cure.
Henri Nouwen

I like Henri Nouwens quotes, very truthful, thanks for sharing
I often use his quotes in life. What a special human being he was.
We are all human beings … we differ in certain things, but we are really all in the end only people … I see the biggest difference between good and bad people … the picture is wonderful
Yes, thanks Lado. I think to attempt to do good is great for any human being, no one is perfect, much as we would like to be.
I would rather people who try to at least do good, but it does not mean they know all the answers.
Thanks so much Lado..
No one really is perfect, and I am not, dear Pamela … but I try to be as good a man as possible … if I can not help but also harm nobody
Beautiful sketch, thanks for sharing
