Beautiful work, as expected Jeff. Your work has quickly become one of the ones I know to expect excellent work from, and you haven't disappointed yet. Wonderful shadow work and color!

Great job! As hot as it is in Chicago today it helps to look at something with fall colors.

Wow, that is just fantastic. Each piece just gets better and better, so lifelike. Can't wait to see the next one.
Call me Jim, James seems so stuffy.

Brother you have some mad talent!
Jeff, you have for sure found you niche. That looks great.
Just beautiful Jeff. One of these days I am going to give it a try.

Thanks Everyone. I am really enjoying doing these.
Bernie, give it a shot. Leave the tenon on and turn it off if you don't like it. I have done that more than I care to admit.

Just too cool! Love how that leaf 'floats.' You almost want to reach down and pick it up off a clean and beautiful plate.
Beautiful

Very nice piece. I really like the dye job. That helps a lot with the realism.

No, it's not thin enough yet.

That is one fantastic piece. That leaf looks 3-d with that dye job. Amazing work!!!

Another great piece, Jeff. You do such a good job with the realism....

Where are John Keeton and Steve Schlumpf anyway?
Love your work Jeff. The dye just really makes it pop out of the plate! Your work reminds me I need to draw more. (that's a good thing, inspire is probably a better word)
