This image is also one of those works that I could find on my hard disk after my 'computer misery' in 2004.

This image is one of those works that I could find on my hard disk, after that my computer has been attacked. Back then I made this work for all those people who can't see their love ones on the holidays. That included me.

Back then I submitted it to one of the contests that iw3D made. I like their products very much and I was hoping to win. I did not win any placement but Pam was so wonderful that she gave me as a gift some of her gorgeous products.

I would like also to paste comments made for this image:

'Really beautiful image Koty, i love this , so much sentiment, lovely lil character playing with his soldiers, love it hon, hope you get your pc sorted out too, i rescently lost all my stuff too, and some things are irreplacable :/ big hugs Tx.'

'What a neat image! Glad I didn't see it around the holidays...first Christmas without my oldest son...sigh...anyway it's just magical and the colors are beautiful! Good luck with your computer.'

'Thank you so much for all of you for your wonderful comments! I really appreciate them! Some of them asked me about this work. Yes, it is from my family album :(... When I posed the little boy I remembered my son when he was a little boy. I liked watching him while he was playing with his toys... he was so serious and at the same time also very happy. I wanted to depict in this work that seriousness and also that joyousness....[it was my comment...] '

'I really like this Koty. There is something about it that makes you just stop and imagine yourself as the little boy and what he is thinking and what has happened in his life. This peace has a lot of detail in it and must have taken a long time to complete. But it was worth it, it gives you a good feeling.'
