Thank you, my Grandmother brought the technique with her from Romania in 1903 when she came to the US. She passed it onto me as a family herritage.

I hope you can pass it on to the next generation!

 Rose - 29/06/07, 02:58 reply
I have been passing it onto my daughters. Thanks again, your work with acrylics is also totally amazing, each of your works reveals the spirit behind it also, I hope you also can pass your technique onto your generations following you.

Great work and great talent! A very difficult and fantastic technique! Really amazing. But the name of this man is not "Sitting Bull"?

 Rose - 25/11/07, 19:16 reply
Thank You, You Are Right About The Name, His Name Is Sitting Bear, He Was A Famous Arakawa Chief (not sure about the spelling on the tribal name) He took over 300 hours to complete.

This is my favorite Rose. I think it's the subject and the symmetry. In another place and time, you could have traded this for Manhattan Island.

 Rose - 01/06/08, 04:20 reply
That sounds like a great barter to me, thanks for the compliment. This one is 22 1/2" x 19 1/2" and has over 300 hours of labor in its creation. :thumbup:
