The Alphabet Paintings: G

I'm back to my alphabet paintings.. and this one is of a piece that lives in my home and called George.. he's a Gryphon.  (also known as a Griffin)
I've painted him on top of a castle wall and in the open air...

If you would like to know the history of Gryphons.. click here

    The painting looks very beautiful and the colour is lovely. You have quite a lot of talent.

    I look forward to showing this to Seth. He loves any mythical creatures. We were going to do a unit study on them sometime...I guess I still need to do that with him!

    Nice job!

    Interesting and original will do fine, Francesco :)
    I wanted to do something "different" for each of the alphabet paintings.. something out of the ordinary :)

    Hope work has eased up a little for you *hugs*
