Hope you enjoy looking at it as much as I do.

They look awesome. Love the style..
@giorgiomarino Tell me. I was close to purchasing the first image of the King Fishers. Watched another person walk out of the art show with it under his arm. It hurt. One day I will have an original of her work. Love supporting artists I appreciate. Glad you like it.
I love them!!
@gabyen3d Thanks for jumping into the conversation. I think I like her work so much because it is the kind of thing I'd like to be able to do. I just need to apply myself I suppose.
You can do it @yourservice !! Everything is a matter of focus ... if it persists you will succeed
