thanks lilylive for your warming comment!!
yes, she was sad the girl, because she was living alone with her parents who were very boring, and further in the story she imagines a world with other parents and all very exiting things, but at the end, she was longing for her normal live and in a dream it turned and changes into her normal world…
but it’s nice that you saw this sadness by the way she holds the dolly. never saw it at that way, I draw or paint the things mostly by feeling.
