The image of the chincol is absolutely beautiful. I love how you did the border.

You have admirers of every age. :)

I like the shadow effect you created on the wings--a lovely departure from your usual style. And the expression on the baby's face is priceless.

this is amazing! The chincol holds a very special place in my heart, it has been inspiration for many of my drawings and sketches. I just love how bold these little guys can be, considering their size.

Hi!

I was wondering if you have considered selling prints of the Chincol illustration? I am from Chile (currently living in FL) but my dad LOVES the Chincol (it is his username/email everywhere)and I would love to buy it for him.

I love love your art! I would love to own a piece one day too!

Just beautiful, Gennine. I'm constantly amazed by how perfectly you distill the essence of each flower and bird you draw. Such simple-looking lines, yet such perceptiveness!
