PhotoHunt: Colorful
Filed under Photohunt, people, travel
It’s midnight where I am, and I can’t go back to sleep. I’m still on Philippine time, I guess. I thought I’d better do my PhotoHunt until sleep comes upon me. 
I am featuring here some paintings made by children for the Art for Heart, an exhibit set up by the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey for the children who lost loved ones at the 9/11 tragedy. It was intended as a therapy for the kids. Look what they’ve come up out of their loss, and notice the raw emotion in the artworks.
Click the photos to enlarge.
The exhibit, by the way, was put up at the site of the World Trade Center. I’m not sure if the paintings are still there today, though.

I love pictures by kids, they are the best.
kids are so honest with their emotions, and they are very creative, too. thanks for dropping by.
Wow! These are so cool… Excellent choice! I love entries that are meaningful…

@kaycee
thanks.
Great choice for the theme.
Thanks for visiting me.
These pieces are very emotional. Thanks for sharing.
these are so cool… the drawings are very much colorful, full of emotions, though the story behind the beauty of the markings on paper still pierces through it…

thanks, kirky.
i love your post! i like artworks so much esp. done by kids…
was actually thinkin’ of posting one of my daughter’s artworks too for this theme but was more tempted to use the one where she was lying on soft balls… yes, those were balls… 
i knew you love artworks.
oh, she’s an artist, too? like mother, like daughter.
i’d like to see some of her pieces!
Wow! Did you recently see the World Trade Center site when you came back to the U.S.? Those photos are extremely touch and very important to the site, I think. I went to New York City two years ago and also visited the sites. Those paintings and the small gifts people left around the site were what touched me most!
nope, i took these shots last year. i got in last saturday. i haven’t had the chance to go around this time. i agree with you. that place is very memorable to thousands of people. there’s an emotion that lingers over the place.
hey aileen, where are you?
we’re waiting for updates here. (demanding?1 ^^)
waaaaaa. coming soon, ma’am!
