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.
Well, I'm not sure which letter it is, but the curved road leads me right to the 'sweet spot' of the light struck tree- which is really successful! nice!
