abd-- so wonderful! glad you have joined us! i love the progression of your work. i so rarely keep mine, but your re-working a concept, inspires me to think along those lines myself. i am still working on my snap dragon from last month. i am drawing the flowers themselves and i'm not terrific at realism, including in my day to day life, lol, so it is taking me some repetitions to get something reasonably similar to snapdragons that others might think that's what they are!
