Susan on beach as a child (colourised)!

Another old B&W photo of Susan that I thought would look nice in some sort of colour! I have no idea what actual colours her clothes were, so I've had to guess!

aww this one is a cutie!

I love that picture! She was such a darling little girl! I always get the feeling, when I see those pictures of Susan as a wee girl, that I'd like to take her hand, walk beside her, and protect her from the hurts we know are to come.--

I love that picture. I think your choice of colours were great.

I don't like having serious discussions on the open forum but do you think if Susan was protected from those hurts would she be the person she is? So many people have said they don't understand why she wasn't discovered earlier. I maintain she had to have those experiences to get her to that exact moment in time with the right amount of emotion to stun the world when she did.

A lot of art and artistic expression comes as the result of personal pain. I still maintain, though, that Susan's early life experience didn't have to be as hard as it was. Would she still be able to sing as well if she hadn't gone through what she did?? Maybe she'd have been even better or have been "discovered" even earlier if she'd had more confidence and less trauma. Maybe not. We'll never know.

Good points WAM. We know she has at least 10 million guardian angels now

Hehe, i love the cardi in purple. GREAT work too, colorizing photos is hard to do.
