Think Big
©2011 Carma Spencer
Carma concentrated on keeping her flowers big enough to fill her composition.
She found this concept so important that she named her piece accordingly.

Marseille V - Frioul ©2008 Nathalie Goosens Nathalie had a great time creating her piece and wrote extensively about it on her blog.	Water Garden ©2008 Cherie Brown Making fish look like they're down in water, rather than right at the surface is tricky, but Cherie did an excellent job.
Le Canard ©2007 Linda Knoll Linda depicted a favorite photo from a memorable canal trip through France.	©2008 Leafing Out Franchi Rosenfeld Franchi's inspiration photo showed brightly colored leaves against a tangle of vertical vines.
