This is one of my very favorites of yours! Maybe it's the subject matter, but I'm so impressed you created this by hand!
Brooks Garten Hauschild replied:
Thank you, Kathleen. I worked with soft pastels for many years, best sellers during that time. I have others in my gallery as well. Wonderful words, thank you!

You have actually painted three beautiful statues of hope and light, Brooks! One is a silhouette with the glowing light, the second one has an illuminated face and the third one has eyes full of life! Another masterpiece!
Brooks Garten Hauschild replied:
Ah so, Preeti! Actually there is also a 4th in pencil to the left! I know, so much to see. Thank you for your always kind thoughtful comments!

An unusual multi media treatment of a beloved symbol of freedom. My neighbor, who escaped from the Holocaust at age 11, loved to tell me how when her boat came into sight of the Statue Of Liberty, that her young war-torn heart soared. 80 years later that memory still uplifted her. fav
