Broken - #52

  2. "The Scarlet Letter" made a huge impression when I first read it when I was a young teenager. Bev, this is one of your very best. The quote is so apt and the feeling of a broken life and despair is palpable. Superb and thoughtful artwork.

  6. Beautiful imagery.. combining a broken glass in a window with the image of a lady in tears creates a strong visual for the theme..
