"The Coal cellar"

What an interesting story and painting

Thank you Heather, I never submitted the story to publishing as we moved shortly after I had finished it; and the other day found the manuscript with these illustrations, still intact so when things over here are more settled may send it in, although I did write about 27 chapters. I can remember the day when I started this picture as was attending a drawing class and was fiddling with coloured charcoal, my hands were literally 'black bright'and oh well it was everywhere, felt I had emerged from the coal cellar too, lol! I think I did add coloured chalk too! Anyway, this was a picture I drew prior to writing about their brave escape on a raft down a canal behind the ghetto at Lodz refuge camp, Poland, 1942.

Yes very interesting story Angela..
