| 5 Sep 2004 | Nathalie Reinholz | Hi Esther. I think you mispelled the title. Your songgryphons are absolutely adorable as ever. I`d suggest you should try more to paint with highlights, light and shadow. Did I tell you I`d like to have one of those?   Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Oh! Thank you, Nathalie! *Goes to the Extranet to correct the title.* You're right, I'm always a bit reluctant to paint with more highlights and shadows. Some day I'll have to overcome that fear to ruin a nice picture by trying to give it more of that. Maybe I should try it digitally, first. There's that nice redo-button. ;-)" | |
| 5 Sep 2004 | Christel 'Kris' Scheja | *does first comment dance* (but very quiet, because I do not want to make the shy fellows flee). Again they are very sweet and nice, so I wand to cuddle them. And as I can see your little songgryphons really like fruit and berries - on many pictures there are on or playing with them. Do they eat them too or do they need flesh and other things?  Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Hi Christel! They mainly eat small insects, they hunt. But I suppose they don't despise to pick on fruits and berries now and then, especially in winter, when they can't find their prey that easily. Those that don't fly south, that is. (Technically: I just like to draw them in such still lifes. It's the first time ever that I don't find still lifes dead boring. ;-))" | |

| 6 Sep 2004 | Uta ´Freawyn´ Hesse | Wow!!!!! Did you have someone like Rubens as your muse? Thats so great! It really looks like a picture from the Renaissance! Why shouldn't you find a buyer? If I would have the money, I would definetley want t have it!  Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Yes, indeed I want those dark still lifes to look like Renaissance pictures. Thank you for the encouragement! I'll have to wait and see. " | |
| 9 Sep 2004 | Kerstin ´kolibri´ Eiben | Ooooh, again some Songgryphons! Me want one too  He could fly together with my canary birds, they surely would be nice friends *lol* And you're right: still life is even more interesting with such cute lil' songgryphons in them!  Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thank you very much, Kerstin! Hmmm. A canary coloured songgryphon...! I recently did some Ara - coloured ones, but I bet canarys would also fit well. *imagines a picture with canarys and canary-songgryphons in a cage* " | |
