Siblings lost in a snowstorm, trying to find shelter. 

This was a little too big to my scanner so my signature and a part of the raven's wing cut out of the picture. :\

I've come back many times to look at this again, and think about why it evokes so much sympathy in me. 

There's something innocent and extra heart-tugging about it being a brother and sister.  Most adults can't or are too afraid to remember just how fearful and lonely it was as a child to have no grown-up to take care of you (or to have some that failed to protect you from danger when you were just small and weak).  But this painting captures it.   

I suppose I find it relate-able and it prompts me to feel compassion for myself and for the people around me, and the scars they bear.  That's why I keep returning to reflect on it again.  It's more tenderness that the average person is capable of expressing well in art (IMHO).  I appreciate you having shared it here.
