Excellent.

I particularly like the way that dark colours dominate round the outside, with a nice luminous interior. It's almost abstract, in a way.

A good project you set for your class Alan. Make them work and it will pay off for them with dividends.

When we look at a piece of art work it has to form some kind of connection to the viewer. It must evoke a memory or stir the imagination or it will fail to cause the person to return to it and examine it further. By painting some of natures hidden treasures I hope to bring the viewer back to places or times that are stored in their memories.

This is a beginners class work? The colors are so vibrant, the detail is unbelievable. Great class. How about a demo of some sort? What colors were used? This is excellent!!!!!
