yeah I loved that bit too. It's from the Essential Yo-Yo Ma CD disc 2...I don't know who it is by though, because i only have it on my WMP not on cd, and the track on WMP says 'Schafe kΓΆnnen sicher weiden', but I am certain it is wrong because the lists on WMP and on the cd case doesn't match, and, I would love to thank you

Oh great, thanks for pasting it here

Elandria is probably the most famous contemporany digital painter (also on dA: =Elandria ) who is well know also because most of her paintings are really paint-overs, though she stated they're not there are a lot of proofs that says the opposite... that's why I said that
