Beautifully done!sheila stanley-powell 29 Jun 2007
hi john,i love this piece. it looks so tranquil and as if it's suspended in space. i'm currently working on a pod of whales done in scratch board and finding it extremely challenging. the medium doesn't lend itself very well to smooth or slick bodied creatures. good luck on selling it. it's a good price you're asking for it.Kathryn Arruda 05 Dec 2006
