Very nice. Seems like anger to me too. Probably cause of the color. The writing is eloquent.

Gorgeous, I love it. Love the title :-).
Norval Arbogast
I should be clearer with the smile, it’s that subdued can have so many meanings. I loved the contrast between emotional [body language] and artistic [use of color].
Care replied
that it can indeed…love to hear your thoughts…thanks : )
