"Solitude shows an abundance of trees, forest and foliage. It indicates that sometimes to be alone is very peaceful. In solitude the mind gains strength and learns to lean upon itself and to be grateful. To some people, Happiness is being alone with your thoughts. Loneliness has a beauty of its own. In this painting surrounded by trees and sound of nature is the best medicine of oneself."
