Dear Christy,
Your works would make wonderful illustrations for poems, stories, fables, books, etc.
There is a poem about a griffin in a book that I remember from childhood. I will never forget it. It is sealed in my memory and pops up all the time, even now that I am almost a half a century old. Your work reminds me of the illustration that was printed with that poem in my childhood book.
That is the power of art. Not only is art a vehicle of expression for the artist, but it comes to life when viewed, having so many associations and connotations for various viewers. Art can live on and on in the mind, too, as we remember and are influenced by it.
Congratulations on a wonderful gallery. I sent you a bunch of favs with comments.
Keep on creating...
