It's a wonderful painting and you are a fabulous pattern maker, top notch Marilyn

Absolutely wonderful creation Marilyn harmonising reality and make believe so beautifully

Beautifully done, the most important thing about painting owls is getting the eyes to look good , you have achieved that really well and make your owl look alive.

Love this very beautiful work of art, which must have taken forever to complete Marilyn.

Beautiful artwork.

At first glance of the thumb nail it looks like a beautiful painting of an owl and then, when you click on it, you see all the intricate detail and patterns that go to make up this stunning painting. Exceptional work Marilyn.

Really beautiful - I especially like the colours and the patterns on the head of the owl.

Welcome back Marilyn with this amazing painting in your unmistakabke style and terrific skillful and endurance.

It's a beautiful painting.

Fabulous fantasy brilliantly executed.
