I used Armando's sketch and painted with Metallic and Pearlized acrylics on canvas. Thus different lighting gives you different shades and sheens. After my first posting, I knew I had many more hours before total completion. I had to wait until after my art show to devote at least as many hours more as the earlier posting took. Thank you, Armando, for this very fun challenge.

TWENTY FOUR artists (I'm included) are involved in this project until now. I was tninking about a "standard" comment for all people. Although you all are the real artists, it's as if your creatures were "my kids". Does a father show preferences? Not at all. All of them, sons and daughters are beautiful and loved. I'll not like to hurt someone because I write "Wonderful" to one and "Lovely" to another one. I must be cautious because I know all people put the same feelings and passion for art in their work. When I got this idea I thought: "If I'm lucky, perhaps 3-4 artists..." I couldn't suspect 23 TALENTED artists more (by now :-) were ready to share this strange experience. Sorry my English knowledge isn't good enough to express my feelings but all of you must know I truly appreciate your endless support in all I do or start. Yes, this one is my STANDARD comment. AMAZING WORK! I feel myself honored because you are part of my project and my heart. No more words are needed. Thank you very much. Love youSara Deutsch 12 Aug 2008
