On the shoulders of giants

"If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants."

Sir Isaac Newton

This is fingerpainted live for my friends at RAI educational. The making of it will appear soon on RAI Art News.

This is all totally new to me. I don't own an iphone, so had no idea it was an art tool.
I am of the era of Etch a Sketch. Your work just blows me away.
I'm impressed. Found your work on Flickr.

Thanks Leslie. I am so glad that you like my work. I suggest that you grab an ipod or an iphone and give digital "fingerpainting" a try.

Just received my very own copy of your "On the Shoulders of Giants" art piece. It commemorates a 21-year office relationship between myself and a true modern day genius who humbly ascribed his own notable success to those who've worked with him. As I transfer into the next phase of my career, I was honored by his suggestion that he considers me as one of his giants. He described your generous reaction to his request for usage and quick delivery, which added volumes to the sentiment under which it was already being conveyed. Thank you for being a part of a most memorable evening and granting me the pleasure of possessing such a unique and beautiful commemorative of a special time and a special human being. Such occurrences are rare! Rhonda
