Commission piece for a ornithologist, whose favourite watch is the Osprey in the Scottish Highlands, this is his request and he's now cementing it into a wall in his home. Painted on Caithness Slate, that has magical qualities of Mica and metallic magnetic ellements, and a great reflective surface due to the Mica. Pianted in hard and durable cold enamels, the `Celtic tree of Life, is Genuine Gold leaf work, applied within raised enamel line work and sealed with a marine epoxy resin for durabilty!

That's it, I'm moving to Scotland, I'll be there in twenty minutes! What's for dinner? should I bring a vegetable? I know! I'll make a pie for dessert.

A master piece of fine art Cathy. Sod the cement get it framed man.Sally Pulford 06 Jun 2007
My favorite now along with Aberlemno Horses. OUtstanding and spectacular. The detail work is amazing. Great rock surface choice. I don't know how you create such lovely, intricate work in such short time periods. You must work around the clock. The ospreys are a favorite here as they were on the brink of extinction...thankfully ave recovered.Anne Vis 06 Jun 2007
