Magical Boat

My daughter asked me...why mom do you like drawing boats? I told her I feel that the boat with the sail heading towards the sky expresses me... It is heading towards the sky as if it is praying to God that the journey pass in peace just like me... I always pray to God that I live in peace with my three children, whom I crossed with three butterflies inside the sail. .. It was as if the sail contained them, embraced them and protected them ... Indeed, the sail expresses me and the sun spreads its rays to give them warmth and love ... I am this boat and the boat is me ... And I used fat over lean technique and the Arabic letters that I love a lot and Arabic pattern too.
