Ammonite

Ammonite with logo aAmmonite

48 x 39 cm

Watercolour

The original ammonite (shown at the bottom left of the picture) is about 6cm across.  I started painting the picture from the centre of the ammonite, and as the picture progressed, I was amazed to see how much the crystals inside the internal chambers looked like pictures of nebulae and star fields, an amazing example of the micro mirroring the macro.
