Gorgeous!! My kind of abstract art! I love the textures, forms and color. No suggestions!

Bill, I really like the rich warm tones in this and the slightly gritty, earthy textures. It just feels really authentic, if that makes any sense.

4

Yes, Bill, the AZ petrified forest is amazingly colorful. This looks great, as it shows off the colors and the wood textures.

Mounted onto white card and set in a classy brown frame this would look lovely.
Not much to say as the image itself has so much to say. A statement on its own and all the better for it.
Great stuff Bill.
