This photo was proposed just afterwards for a week-end drawing event on wetcanvas.com by Lisilk@wetcanvas.com. I found it represented the sense of quality in work. <br /><br /><div style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 10px;"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23777692@N03/2270336703/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2049/2270336703_a48f4eb82d_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: 2px solid rgb(0, 0, 0);" /></a><br /><span style="margin-top: 0px;font-size:0;" > <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23777692@N03/2270336703/">38-People page 2</a> </span></div><br />So I drew this picture thinking of Michele who was very dedicated to her work. When I drew this I was revolted by the idea my aunt worked hard and would not benefit from retirement. The second page is also after a photo of Lisilk, it was my first drawing after her funerals. I could see trust and teamwork in it.<br /><br />The thread is of course dedicated to my Aunt.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3201087871822417416-533849964560945088?l=baladecreative.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>FrenchLadyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05833197724923702448noreply@blogger.com
