those feathers would drive me more than squirrelly~ but, WOW I hope you KNOW, it was worth it. It was. Artists are all a little dee Dee dee, anyway...

Artist Reply: don't you know it. my son calls me crazy lady and i tell him the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree. you make me blush with all your compliments. thank you so much. from one dee dee to another.

Your work is exceptional, especially this one because of the tight detail. What type of scratchboard is this?

Trish Gename 22 Jul 2007

Wow! Wow! Your work is so detailed. I wish I could see this in person, and just study it for a good long while.

Wonderful piece! Okay, I'm going to admit I'm dumb.. white scratchboard? Please tell me where you find it, who makes it? Something new to try (rubbing hands together)...

I love this owl, you did it beautifully.

Gwen Lewis 20 May 2007

Wonderful piece of work! I like all of your work so very much, but you are exceptional in portraying birds, particularly birds of prey; have you ever done one of a kestrel? My son Nigel had one, [very originally named Kessy] he was trained to the lure, but Nigel told me off sometimes because I treated him like a pet; he used to sit on my shoulder and snuggle into my hair: as you know, birds of prey need the fur of the prey to enable them to make their pellets, somehow my cat knew this and would bring home mice to exchange for liver, so Kessy always had the correct diet, freshly caught too. :) Gwen.
