What an artist and what an incredible intellect - a man born out of his time. Gayle, this is a wonderful tribute to Leonardo. I love the framing and the background. Perfect.

Oooooh! DaVinci! Gayle, this wonderful personage is THE quintessential Renaissance Man for all of the ages. His influence and inspiration has been admired by countless artists and scholars. Fabulous choice, and a beautiful collage. Hugs, Terri xoxo

DaVinci is such a fascinating man. Reading Dan Brown's "DaVinci Code" had me absolutely mesmerized. A friend loaned me a lovely book of his paintings to refer to as I read the book. Your tribute piece is simple and simply lovely.
