#### <center>*Hello my dear Steemians and Art Fans,*</center>

&nbsp;

*Today I wanted to present you my latest watercolor work that I have finished last evening. Few years ago I have seen a beautiful portrait a young girl, on the cover of National Geographic.*

*When I saw it I could not stop staring into those eyes, they had so many colors: dark blue the outer edge, light blue then, ochre with a bit of burnt sienna and the middle is deep, endless black.*

*The other thing that I was fascinated that this glance had so much fear for the war and wish to have finally peace and security. Somehow I felt that these eyes were calling people to wake up and stop that crazy war, the girl was from Afghanistan, she was a refugee in the camp in Pakistan.*

*The National Geographic photographer Steve McCurry, made that picture with the permission of Gula, that was just a quick random picture that appeared on the cover of National Geography in 1985, that immediately became very popular and touched the hearts of many people.*

*In 2002  almost 17 years later Steve found the girl who now became a mother of three daughters, despite of so many years she still had the same glance and the same expression of the eyes.*

&nbsp;

<center>*Hope you like it.*</center>

Вот это да! Тебе удалось передать  взгляд той  девушки с фото! У меня аж мурашки по коже. Такой пронзительный у неё взгляд. Отличный портрет получился!

Мне давно хотелась ее нарисовать, я даже немного завидую ее глазам, просто красота :)
