My sisters helped me choose this subject matter. It's very unusual and I'm pleased that I didn't use a ruler to do the straight threads of the web, all freehand.

Looks great! I love all the different shades of colour you used for the cobweb and you have my respect for drawing the straight threads freehand, it makes them appear so much more realistic. I can't draw straight lines even when using a ruler :D By the way, is this by any chance a European garden spider?

What a beautiful idea. It looks like photographed that has been tweaked! Excellent job with the painting, the web is perfect-I like how the strands are even thicker in some places, just like real web. Awesome!

Oh the detail in this is superb! It's hard to believe it's a painting. I like the freehand as well, it makes the spider web look much more realistic. I cannot begin to tell you how much I like this painting...
