Description

Sometimes art is so good that it hurts. The detail in the woman’s hair. Ow! The shafts of wheat, perfectly aligned with impossibly tight line work. Grooaann. The inky perfection of the wings. Yelp! And the stippling. Good Lord, the stippling . . .

That wheat, looks so good. Not even a gluten allergy would stop me from eating it! Another wonderful acquistion.

Gorgeous - you need to skip an auction - but I am a Leo so perhaps it was not meant to be - The Underbidder

Even if I were not a September baby, I would still love this. Technique and execution at the highest level. Wow!

Finlay's astrology work was amazing.and for a long time under-valued.
