[@JoKeet1]

Oh Mark!!! I absolutely LOVE this!!! Your best EVER in my opinion 🎉😊 I definately want to try something like this, but living in South Africa, I will be hoping to get similar results with Baobab or Acacia shaped tree. Maybe a setting orb of a sun somewhere?? IF whatever my painting looks like (I'm still a newbie) I MIGHT add an embossed pewter or copper silhouette of an elephant, rhino or some other African animal. DUNNO YET! 😮 Thanks for the inspiration ❤❤

[@MarkJRatcliffeArt]

Thank you so much and I LOVE that you’re Thinking of creating with so many options! Such fun! 🤩
