How clever this painting is! You are so creative, Joe! I am just having a good time rediscovering your colorful palette... So many ideas, so much to tell in your work. I love the details, which you lovingly give all your creatures; humans or animals. They have so much to tell through their movement, in case of the animals, or through the proud facial expressions and open hearts of your people. Still love your work, Joe!
