The Strength Within by Loriann Christian
Mixed Media (Pencil, Acrylic, Ink)

"The Strength Within" was inspired by a moment in life that left me feeling alone and vulnerable.  I knew the sun would come out but it wasn't as bright and happy when it did.  The sun was a little dull and jagged around the edges until that moment passed and the sun shone brightly again.
