Adam Stone
This is a wonderful drawing, and i love the detail on the cliff. Also the small bits of dirt being brushed off by her hand is a nice little touch… I like details like that :-)
There is a lot of feeling in this image, it says so much and is easy to relate to. I know there have been times in the past where i’ve felt that sense of sadness, feeling rejected and different from everyone else because of how society is so often unfair and so rarely accepting. I feel for this girl…. and i think she is unique and beautiful. Bless her.
Lisa Defazio

Subtle yet emotionally rendering work of art
that has no need to rely overly on its “Angst Haben or fuetter mein ego”

I’m thinking Paul, there is a Lily Maudlin in each and every one of us at some time….to sit here and look at Lily, I sense, I feel the full emotion of Lily Maudlin…the chest goes tight, the eyes fill with tears and I feel her wondering, “What is the point”....this gorgeous little girl of yours touches so many chords deep within my heart and soul….
Thank-you Paul….thank-you for Lily Maudlin….
