Thank you; you are always so kind and generous with your praise. I'm glad you find those little details appealing; it seems everyone that likes it enjoys different aspects of the piece (the gilded letter itself, the lighthouse, the colours, the filigree, the roiling waves of the line filler, the text colour changes). It is nice to be able to combine a number of different skills and techniques into a single piece.

It's most deserved! That's quite interesting to hear, though - how people can all like the same piece, yet be drawn to different parts.

Ah, apologies. My translation of the text:

"When you want to build a ship, don't start by gathering wood, cutting planks, and assigning work—but rather awaken in men's breast a longing for the immensity of the sea."

You actually inspired me to start learning French. I already can recognize so many words as I compared your kindly provided translation with the artwork. Let's get to it seriously... right now.
