    Glad the move is behind you now. And those Colorado columbine reminded me of times when I saw clumps of them as far as they eye could see! :-)

    Hi, John...that's a lot of apartments to remodel. Will you go back there? Hpe all goes well. Love the images, especially the quail. I'm fascinated with them.

    I love these paintings of plants and animals,
    they show much more detail than a photo does. :)
    Are you going to stay in your new home or do
    you move back once they're finished?
    Have a fine day

    These are so beautiful, John. They don't make illustrations like this anymore; what a shame.

    Our sweet California Quail... they are so cute, and they are easily recognizable by their sound. Very shy though.
