Toddy has specialized in producing the most detailed miniature paintings one could fathom. This painting of an Apache woman and child, when examined with a magnifying glass, is stunning in its detail. It is not necessary to view it with a magnifying glass, but astonishing when done so. He is consistent in painting of the highest quality.
