All three pieces are very well done and I love how you combined the modern with the ancient. Of the three, Horus is my favorite, but I wanted to comment that it's very rare to see Hathor included in Egyptian diety art. Isis or Bast is frequently seen, but not Hathor. I hope Rachel likes these as much as your fans do

Interesting you should mention that. I've noticed that too. You might come across Hathor's human form, but not often. I should mention though, that it was Mrs. Jones who specified which Egyptian figures she wanted painting, and this was based on the gods that Rachel most liked (she loved anything Egyptian). I would have expected her to have said something like Bast, but I was happy to do something different!

Btw, It was quite some time ago now, but shortly after her birthday Rachel sent me a lovely letter in which she wrote how much she liked the paintings. I don't know Rachel or her mum personally, so I can't keep updated on the condition of the pieces, but it was not so long ago that I bumped into them both and was told that they are still very much treasured. I'm always happy to hear that.
