Beautiful beyond words...what heart and soul...Praises to you, for you and the Manatee...a prayer. Have a blessed day Susan, I am glad I saw this image, it restores my faith in all things. Sincerely CB
Hi Susan Thank you for visiting my page :) You do very nice work! I especialy like this one because of their suspension in space. Like they're floating in air. :D
this is excellent. perhaps the medium itself lends to the aquatic feel of this one. the little fish is GREAT gives really personality to the image. i love your colors too!
Susan, you have really captured this beautiful creature...a friend of mine helped in a conservation effort in Mexico and Florida...they are truely unique. I love your work and can't wait to see more.
Very realistic, and great use of colors. It feels like you are in the water watchign this scene. I like how the light refracts amd shimmers on the upper part of the manatee (thats at least how I see it, anyways :P).
I CANNOT ADD ANY MORE PRAISE TO THIS PIECE. IT IS BEYOND RATING. SO GENTLE. I KNOW THE STORY OF THE MANATEE. I HOPE THAT THEY DO NOT BECOME THE LOST MANATEE.
