Great image with a wonderful message. I love your narrative. I am actually watching "A Christmas Carol" and this strikes home.
Too often we forget the joy we used to have during this season.
Your image is very warm and well done.
Thank you for this

Is that your original composition?

If yes, then you're a great poet with that unique style of metering!

Festive colors despite the low lit capture...

Aesthetic framing.
Innovative, imaginative & creative presentation.
Thanks & good luck at the polls!

I love your piece, as well as the message it stands for.

My mom and I just cleaned out all the dressers and closets in our house. Our church is donating warm clothing items to the monastery, who in turn forwards out donations to a men's shelter and a women's and children's shelter. We donated 8 coats, 10 hoodies, very warm ones, some with fleece and fake fur in them along with hats and gloves and scarves, socks and fleece and flannel pajamas and many more items. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy to help those who need what I don't need anymore.

Your art piece truly is lovely, sharing hope with us all.

I am so glad that you shared this. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

I like your poem a lot. I believe that hope is always with us, just waiting for the need to be resurrected. If we did not have hope, well. I do not want to think about that! A merry Christmas to you and thank you for your beautiful art work!

Raoul, you did such a wonderful job on this artwork. It is perfect for the contest. The artwork is touching with the message given by these two well-drawn children. The message of goodwill and hope is displayed very well. Love how the little boy is reaching out of the screen.
