Description ...a gift for my dear friend Ayhan
Dear Ayhan, thank You for Your precious friendship,
I do hope, that You will recognize Yourself... and that eventually You will  like Your gift...You appreciated my drawing "cry in the desert"so much, You once told me,and You said, if ever I should draw something likewise, I should think of You, than...crying "silently"...You told me furthermore that Your ID Photography "Do You recognize me" would be particularly dear to Your heart...So I kept those two "indices" in mind, and I created this for You...
I rarely worked as much as I worked on this drawing, for some weeks, actually, and I never had it "so hard" to get the right resemblance...Your photography was very particular, extreme brightness and lights,and the face was not "entire"...so I was observing again and again other photos from You, but none really "corresponded"...however, I did, my best, and what I could, for sure, not perfect, but...coming from the heart...and to be "true with the essence and emotion"needed or desired in this drawing...

I would like to add this beautiful words of Leonard Cohen:
"It is the notion that there is no perfection,
that it is a broken world and we live with broken hearts and broken lives-
but still - this is no alibi for anything.
On the contrary, 
You have to stand up and say
Hallelujah under those circumstances..."(Leonard Cohen)

Beautiful rendering, dear Flori! 

(I wonder what Ayhan thinks of the referendum result, yesterday! I am a little worried about our Turkish friends.)

...thank You my Dearest, I am so glad, that You think so...
...About the "referendum result"...I am not interested in politics,(I wouldn't have one nice word to say about ANY politician...so...I better say nothing) at all, but I have to admit, that the situation is worrisome ...for our Turkish friends...and us Greeks, at the same occasion, I would add...let's pray and hope for the best...

Nobody got such a great gift...Nobody felt so lucky to be presented by a great artist...Nobody is honoured with a magnificent artistic piece of art except me...

I promise I will not try to be a model to ordinary people, because of not to reduce the quality of the object that you used for that neat drawing. You transfer general look of me but you put me into a very handsome form by your very neat style my friend. I found myself so charm-full and very handsome when I look your beautiful artwork. I will try to make it my ID photo for some time, if you let me do so...
You mentioned that it keep you in trouble for weeks, and you used to spent more and more energy to create it. I appreciate you very much; I appreciate your kind friendship so deeply
...
from the deep ot my heart

...It was a true pleasure to create this special gift for You , to treasure our precious friendship, dear Ayhan...sincerely thank You for it,and I think You know how much I appreciate You as well...


and , expressing Your happiness about my drawing for You, pleases me mighty.
Of course, You can use it, as and how You would like..after all...it is Your gift...
If You found Yourself charm-full and handsome  on my drawing...I am very content, that is how I see You,and how many others are seeing You, as well...
I tried to transfer Your very special meaning and emotions, You described about this photography and the "impact", since than...
, I tried to tell Your story ..in my own way ...the moon,(as Your "kingdom"=Ayhan) the sadness or silent pain in Your face, Your mourning about a Fata Morgana(laying in the sand of the desert like a mirage )..the hearts in the sand, being there , one moment,and the next instant- "blown" away by the winds of the desert...and Your hair mingling with the wind and the sand...
Have a lovely day,and a great week, Dear...Have-a-Great-Week by KmyGraphic
