I have to say that this one is a hit with me! I am biased because I favor trees so much, but you really did a fantastic job with this piece. I LOVE IT :-D
The colors are slightly more muted that that of your teacher, but I prefer it that way. Not everything in nature is vibrant, we are just used to altering the photos on our phones to appear more dramatic then they actually are. Beautiful Spider!!
Thanks, Brad !!! You are very encouraging :D :D :D
