She stood amidst the busy sidewalks and city streets.
life blooms at her feet.
In the grass beneath the shade of an ancient friend.
a promise broken, never mends.
Clouds gathered as she made the stroke, color burst and flow
waiting for her rainbow.

I submitted it over on DA for a print because I am actually happy with the way this one turned out, which doesn't happen very often.

It's also rare on pics like this that you don't see all the character, but I ran out of paper.

My favorite part is the left sleeve where the black cross is, the way it's folded and the cross actually folds with it.
