Description
Tribute to Martin Luther King.
My very first portrait was a pencil sketch of MLK when I was 16. It hung above my desk all through college and I still have it till today. I thought I should give it another try now :) .
Painted to Iron Sky by Paolo Nutini:
"...Oh, that's life
Left dripping down the walls
Of a dream that cannot breathe
In this harsh reality
Mass confusion spoon fed to the blind
Serves now to define our cold society
From which we'll rise over love,
Over hate,
Through this iron sky,
That's fast becoming our minds.
Over fear and into freedom.
You just got to hold on!
You just got to hold on!..."

Michel Verhoef
Fantastic dedication...great words...yes...hold on, there still is time to...gorgeous Chris !!
Christel Roelandt replied:
Thank you, Michel! Yes I love this song and it could very well be written for MLK or for Nelson Mandela for that matter. I hope there is still time....for each wall we tear down, they seem to build a new one elsewhere...no heroes of this calibre in this era, unfortunately. Hoop doet leven :) ! Groetjes, Christel.
