    I want to reach out and touch this one. Are they really as texture rich as they look? Your thumbnail is not visible; this may only be my computer.

    clever you – a cuckoo clock unfolded. And I see it is living with a lucky soul in Guadalajara.

    Brilliant “Cukoo Clock”.
    I can feel the “cantabile” for here.
    Loving the rich colors and composition in this piece.
    Simply gorgeous.
    Can I have this as my Christmas gift Flying Colors?

    Ohhh!!! I love this magnificent cuckoo clock – with such a fine blue bird! And the quotes are so cool and inspiring too – I especially love the last one…
    These details and colors are so magical and so rich – I could just happily spend so much time getting lost in these amazing images you create. Truly beautiful work:-)
