Determination Took Us to the Top by Leon Basler

Read a bit about Leon, from his website:
“Transforming an image into a piece of art takes passion. I feel a passion for every piece of art I create, and fortunately I have many passions in my life.
Since I was a young boy, I have been encouraged to express the talents that I have through various artistic outlets. Common scenes evolve into something more as I convey my interpretation of them with different mediums.
I never limit myself or my art and that is why I want to share each unique and individual piece with you so you can have a piece of my passion in your life.”
