11 x 14 oil on canvas panel
I 'd like to think I have a natural eye for good composition, in that I can recognize it when I see it, but trying to create it? That's another story altogether. This was painted down the road from where I live and the big round tree was the initial attraction. But I quickly realized the road and telephone poles had a lot to do with the appeal too. First try, I painted what I saw. I could see there were design problems, so I made some changes, and re-read my favorite book on composition by Ian Roberts.
