I would have replied sooner but the notification bell at the top of the page was not showing any new activity in this thread, despite new postings. Thank you all for your kind words.
EP, I always look forward to your compositions.
Anne, Both are so lovely in your style, especially the toucan. Gorgeous!
Penny, "Penny and Benny" sure has a nice ring to it! He looks at home already, and is indeed fortunate to have a loving owner such as you. Jake was the only pet either Jerry or I ever had, and his loss was devastating. I noted that you had not been very active lately. Email me or PM me if you want and tell me all about him! Take as much time as you need for yourself and Benny. There is a thread where pet photos are encouraged at CS
here.
Lesley, The feeling of motion, which is very hard to achieve, is well expressed. The details on the face are just perfect.Your art has been improving so much. Are you practicing more?
