Holy cow guys, thanks for all the kind comments. I've been out most of the weekend so I haven't been able to post. I'll go through and answer any questions anyone has.

i really like it! you are very talented. do you take a photo and then paint the photo? have you seen paintings for ants? those are amazing, too, but in a different way. someone else you might like is charles bell. i like the pinball art!
I take the photo and then paint from a print of the photo. It's nearly impossible to paint from life in this style. You move your head 1" and the lighting and look is different.
I am always in awe of people who can take an image from their head and somehow use their hands to translate it into something so stunning. This painting is so beautiful. How do you do that?! Someone asked me that yesterday and I told them that I have to not think about it as one large painting, but 5000 tiny paintings. I can paint one gem, or one leaf, or one shadow. Now I just have to do that 4999 more times!

Will you have prints of this one for sale? Please say yes! I seriously need this to go in my vintage style bedroom. I love your work and have purchased several of your prints from Etsy. I love every one of them!

A HA! Dots connected. lol
yes, I will probably have some prints up of this and the others soon. I haven't decided If I'll continue to print my own (I have a wide format archival quality printer) or start farming this out to another company and having them do it.
