Those leather balls look so real.

This is great Andrea, love the expressive hands, beautifully painted!

Fantastic Andrea, the leather balls brilliant.

Thanks Carole 😀 Really kind of you 😀

Thanks for your great compliment Russell! :)

Something very dramatic and lively in this piece that really holds the viewer's attention, Andrea. Well done!

Thanks for your compliment Seok. Glad you like it! (Your comments are always such a joy to read throughout the gallery!) Happy Painting! :) :)
