    A student gave me a calendar made up of painting of this artist, and along with
    being incredibly sappy, I found myself staring at them and trying like crazy to
    fix the perspective in my mind. Great non-examples for middle and high school
    when you teach perspective.. particularly the houses and bridges. However, I
    guess you don't need perspective to drive to the bank!
