Before commencing this work I had begun to realize how children follow the Spirit.

To me He was the bringer of light to the darkness of the world... In Christ I grasped the embodiment of the outward and the inward light.

Rather than just a depiction of nature, I searched for something like soul. I was occupied with painting children, studying them was more rewarding to me than studying adults at that time. I also wanted to give more to the children.
