Wow, this is really cool! I love the idea of this, and the colors and just everything you've done here. The paintings are pretty on their own, but combined in this unique sculpture, they are like an artistic one-two-punch! :)

This is at once a personal and
universal work of art.
Your painting on this form
is expressive and creates an
heirloom that your daughter will appreciate
in the coming years

Thank you for your review. I must admit it is hard to sit and wait for it to dry. It was very heavy and so was I. Thanks.

You did a great job on this. I like that you put her heritage on one side that was a great idea. She will surely love it in years to come.

This is A first for me, in rating this type of art, as I have never seen one before. Having said that, The details and meticulousness put into this are wonderful. It's like a story book brought to life. Very well done.

Thank you Brian for evaluating my project. I like the thought of it being a storybook because it is in way. It does tell the story of the begining of my daughter's life. I ike the comparision. Thank you so much.

Very finely done. Terrific use of colors and the blending of the cultures is richly done. Thanks for clarifying. I enjoyed this very much.

Hi, thanks for your review. I look forward to posting more of work soon and getting feedback.

Comment from Papa
Diane, while I see this piece as evidencing imagination and creativity, and certainly skill in sculpturing and painting. It does not appeal to me, however, giving me the impression of being overwhelmingly crowded. I also get the sense of a struggle happening with the colours. But, as I say, it is creative and I applaud the effort.
Peace, Papa
