<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GaleriaGila, post: 94261, member: 993&quot;]That&#039;s absolutely beautiful, Fakes.&nbsp; Absolutely beautiful.&nbsp; </p><p>That&#039;s what Edward Lear&#039;s majestic, elegant, meticulously-rendered birds do to me.&nbsp; My own street-art style is so totally opposite, but there&#039;s something about looking into his birds&#039; eyes (especially the parrots) that makes me want to cry, just because of the life and beauty and spirit I see there.&nbsp; He was the first bird illustrator to draw and paint from real, living birds, not skins... and he absolutely caught the LIFE of those birds.&nbsp; He added a dab of a special mixture of glossy stuff&nbsp; to the eyes that makes them glow as if from within.&nbsp;&nbsp; Makes people feel they are with that bird personally from so long ago.&nbsp; I blew a tax refund a few years back in buying a toucan from Oppenheimer.&nbsp; It&#039;s my most prized possession... it&#039;s the only thing hanging in my living room.&nbsp; There&#039;s no room for anything else.&nbsp;&nbsp; Every day my eyes meet that bird&#039;s is a day I remember that beauty and art live forever somewhere in a special dimension.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
