daniellesylvan [2011-11-29 15:32:16 +0000 UTC]

Oh my goodness! I saw your book at the store the other day and just by looking at the cover I INSTANTLY took a picture and sent it to my parents asking for it for Christmas! So I'm hoping they come through and get it If not I'll go back and buy it myself! What's funny is when I looked at it I was thinking "these look so similar to the zodiac pictures I saw on deviant art the other day..." then I realized it was the same artist! Anyway I can't wait to actually own the book, the illustrations are so gorgeous! I'm going to try to get back into watercolor painting since I've only been doing digital for like 5 years now hah!

When watching your Art I really get a real good Feng Shui like feeling. - It is so full of amazing
great Harmony in every Picture - you really seem
to know what harmony means. In addition as a watcher of it you really look upon the all good side
of Nature and get a feeling of Eternity.
- Marvelous -
