Another great book on subject is 'Points of View', by Valerie Hearder. There are lots of photos on web to inspire you. I've made a couple of small ones and they are lots of fun....I even did a postcard size one showing an Arkansas mountainside with fall leaves, horses, etc....for my brother as a "thank you " gift.
I don't have any pictures....
