The boy's drawings had been mounted and matted. Some were stacked in cascading rows showing bits and pieces of each masterpiece...others were individually sitting on stands where prospective buyers could see them. His eyes glistened emotionally as he nervously waited for prospective buyers. Parts of him were excited and other parts were sad to be parting with the hours upon hours of love and work that went into each one.
