Illustration Friday: Shadow

Bertie and Beatrice found 

that together, with hands

firmly grasped,

the shadows held no fears

“I am your friend and my love for you goes deep. There is nothing I can give you which you have not got, But there is much, very much, that, while I cannot give it, you can take. No heaven can come to us unless our hearts find rest in today. Take heaven! No peace lies in the future which is not hidden in this present little instant. Take peace! The gloom of the world is but a shadow. Behind it, yet within our reach, is joy.”

Fra Giovanni Giocondo

 

I know this is not an illustration but Charli (my daughter, 2) and I spent the afternoon creating little figures out of modelling clay and when we took photographs on my phone with the 'macro' setting on, they came out like this. Believe it or not, the shots were taken on a coffee table in the middle of the day... not sure how it happened but I'll take it! We did loads, think I'll make her a little comic strip.

 Happy Doodling
