“There are no
seven wonders in the world
in the eyes of children;
there are seven million.”
— Walt Streightiff
wonder is trapped
in the lens of children’s eyes
trusting enchantment

Mary, IMO, This portrait is one of your best works ever. You have perfectly captured the wonder and innocence of this child and of children in general. Gary
