First, about the list of the virtues I will draw READ THIS : [link]
Thank you.

And this is charity.
First about the picture, I separated 2 things. Her left hand give money, the second one just grab the other hands. because charity is just not giving something to somebody. Charity is for me to be nice with people and to help them when they are in pain mentally, even if you don't know them. Help the body, help the soul.

Charity is a hard virtue to apply for me. I doubt people's honesty a lot. In the street when people are asking for money, I prefer buying them food directly. This is something my mum teached me long time ago. One day she gave money to a kid on the street and then she followed him. He entered on a pub and gave the money to his father who was drinking with other guys. This is ugly. And this happened to me too many times. For exemple, I paid him a sandwich to a guy on the street and he told me "na I want your money !". Lol. Go to hell. People who really need help are always happy to eat (and it's a pleasure to see them smiling when you buy something for them).
So I really applause people who give their money to everybody, even if they know they were kinda robbed by half of those guys.
For my part I highly prefer helping people with their problems when they need to talk, to cry, to be here for them. Because I know I'm really helping them here, but we all have different ways to be charitable :)
Virtues are way more complicated to feel, accept and apply than anything else.

Hope you will like this one too :)

My thoughts exactly. Sometimes it's harder for me to just reach out to people, open up and talk to them (autism does that), but I generally try to be a nice person. And I do prefer to give by helping people directly instead of just handing money; even when they really are poor, some of them will use it to pay for an addiction or something.
As for the pic, I think you did a great job! I love the color contrast there, and it's really expressive.

Exactly. Your answer of the charity is very nice. But sometimes, street people play up again and again, and it's difficult to look them implore like that, I want to give them money but all give, that's too much. For exemple Restaurants of the hearts could help them, There are so plenty poor people in the world... So. I love your representing drawing :D ! It's beautiful too.

Aww, I like how she's holding their hands! I think that is a nice touch, because I usually see too much emphasis on the material part of charity. I also really like the mix of contrasting colors.

From all of your virtues, this is the one I liked the most. :3 Specially because since her eyes are closed, she could be easily tricked by the ones she's helping and vanishing within their misery... something that happens to lots of people that are blindly charitable.
