Ribbons in a Vase

This is an oil pastel again for my MFA Thesis. I actually did it for the drawing show but thoughts are that it is to personal and no one would want it....so I will show it here. It is not on eBay...none of my ribbon pieces are. Ribbons are so beautiful but after what happens to the ribbons? I thought it would be nice to mull over the significance of the ribbon and how it effects us. What promises does it give and are those promises fulfilled? To see what I have on eBay scroll to the right and click the eBay link.
