  7. Helen, that is amazing! The deep evening colors and the soft shadows on the bird. And the eye. There is so much expression and soul in that eye. Exquisite painting!

  12. Yes! That is huge because those that's about the same size of canvas I use (30x40 or 36x48) but look at your lovely blue. The details are so realistic. Have you ever thought of painting zoological and botanical studies?
