    That is beautiful Ester! They are jellyfish correct?
    Sincerely,

    Thank you, Jill.
    In your imagination they can be whatever you'd like them to be. In reality I was inspired by translucent, upside-down poppies.

    I love the way you've combined flowers and jellyfish in this piece. It's an amazing creation - very inventive - like they are floating in the sky or water.
    I'm hoping to be at the CPSA convention to take your workshop this summer. I'd love to work on the Icarus drawing board.

    I just love this painting, along with all the others. I cant tell whether there are flowers or jellyfish in the painting.

    Ester,

    I am amazed with your results using your invention. You have raised colored pencil to whole new level of artistic expression.
