This is the eight artwork in the Woodland Series. Photoshop CS2, photomanipulation. "Bless This Child" is the start of a turning point in the series that will continue until its end. The series has had to go through a lot before it could get to this point. Blessings don't always appear to be blessings until much later. But, ultimately, they are what bring us happiness and great joy.

There will only be 2 more in the woodland series... then I will probably take a break from all of this photomanipulation and start more paintings :). I've got to put that tablet to work!
