    Some capture the bird, but not the spirit – You have captured both. A beautiful painting, but even more outstanding when I know it was completed in less that two days! It’s a thrill to see you create such a masterpiece so effortlessly…..well done my love….it’s incredible.

  • And you helped me with that, thank you sweety! I couldn’t have done it this way without you…….you showed me the way to the spirit of the falcon and the painting! I have to thank you my love! xxx

    Fantastic work Arie. Really nice attention to detail. I would have to agree with Saleire, in that you captured both the image and the spirit of this majestic bird.

  • Thank you very much Jim, your words mean a lot to me!
