I like the feeling the blue tones give it. And what exactly is he looking at under there? The cat's a nice touch!

I love this Claudine. The cat is so curious and cute. And so brave to be toying with that creature.

I have appreciated your comments on my art in the past and I could not understand why your name was familiar until I retrieved my Collage Discovery Workshop book and there you were! Great book. Bought in in Boston last year. You are such a talent. All the Best.

Good job! I really like how you've used a monochromatic palette. Is that kitty silhouette Stanley?

Very fun! And very beautiful. And thanks for taking the time to answer my email this week about laser printers. I've been having fun with collage the last couple months. And your book really is terrific!

This is so cool. I love the look on the woman's face and the way you made her arms crossed as if she has no patience for monsters. I love the details, especially the window.
