Wow, the “glistening” effect is magic (sorry, but I could not find an appropriate english word to describe it), it looks both realistic and fanciful with all these colors and reflections of light.. absolutely stunning..

Ester, you are really into 2012 with brilliance.
Guys pop their vest buttons. Maybe gals need a larger bra.
Congratulations, you deserve rewards for your dedication.

I have been so impressed with your art Ester that I ordered the Icarus Art Board. My drawing board arrived this afternoon, I have it set up on my drawing table and can’t wait to get started. I have been watching the You Tube demos every night and I am going to try to replicate these wonderful stones. Thank you for your art.

Congrats again Ester! The piece is gorgeous, I could get lost in it for quite some time. My eye keeps traveling all around the stones and water.
