Art: Kahlil Gibran Portrait of the Prophet by Artist Alma Lee

For years I knew of it's existance, a book called the "The Prophet " by Kahlil Gibran but for one reason or another I had never read it. When this artist portrait Contest came up I learned that Kahilil was also a visual artist. I picked up a copy of his word and was just in awe of his talent as a writer. His ability to take the written word and give it real and tangible substance. I realize what we try to do as visual artists to communicate,convey and share, Kahlil does with his prose. His writings are rich,elegant and painfully simple. I am a knew fan and wonder what took me so long!
