Simply simplify.
Trying to say more with less is probably the hardest thing to do. This painting was done on location with the goal of staying true to my concept and reducing the subject to only the bare minimal. Below is a photo of the location. Did I really need the picnic table, the rock, the branches or the extra trees to make the mood?
Happy Thanksgiving!

Nope. Apparently you didn't need them. That's an interesting rule of thumb. I'll try it.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Hi Liz! I think the rule will work similarly with poetry. Happy thanksgiving!
Hi Loriann..Happy Thanksgiving. It's a gift to know what to leave out and what to put in....that and your years of painting experience. I'm really loving all of your posts of late....super colors!
