This was based on my little brother and the other man is meant to be Jesus. I drew this in 2004 and brother past away in 2002. I wanted to draw him in the havens but I came up with a fantasy idea and a spiritual picture. The dolphin and the killer whale are water the tree is Earth the sun is fire and the little fairies at the bottom of the page are Fern, me, Vanessa (my little Sister) and Sam. I used a picture of use four doing a little dance so I had reverence for that. This drawing was done in Watercolour Pencils.

This one caught both my eye and mind. Your hard work shows and the result is touching.. Like the idea that everything represents something!

What an interesting and original take on the elements! Perhaps it is also a "circle of life" representation? Great work getting it all on to one piece and getting it all to flow.

35 Joanne Louise Sheard replies: "  Oh some of my ideas are like that flowing by. Maybe that’s just the way my imagination is. You know it could be like that the circle of life. Thanks for your comment Jo "

Great gallery but this picture really jumps out at you and the story behind it truly touches your heart,great work.This picture does everything to the viewer that good art is supposed to,it makes you think!! Again, great job!
