I noticed the centered tree right away but didn't find it distracting. I also like the opposing diagonals of your composition - the foreground sloping up to the right and the background sloping downward in the same direction. This helps give a greater sense of visual weight to the left side of the composition, offsetting the potential static effect that might have existed otherwise with the tree at center. Lovely color and texture, too.Brian McGurganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963409828276349170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569842595006112796.post-44881716066582914992010-10-31T22:58:28.990-04:002010-10-31T22:58:28.990-04:00Love it.

Oh by the way, I just made an improved load of rosemary/walnut biscotti and now i have a new idea how to make it better.<br /><br />Hi Caroline, The painting took under an hour to do. Maybe my recent,constant drawing of trees helps.<br /><br />Hi PB!. Wow you really examined it! Thanks for noticing everything.I did another one this morning. The colors out there are awesome. It's funny how I have sent so long trying to "train" my colorist tendencies to be more neutral. It's been a good lesson for without the neutrals nothing shines. Hopefully I am on the way to finding balance.<br />Halloween Burger night should be interesting...you have an amazing memory!<br /><br />Hi Sam...I think you are a woman who enjoys a broken rule or two.loriann signorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16738796573576452724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569842595006112796.post-41003917432747765982010-10-31T13:40:31.654-04:002010-10-31T13:40:31.654-04:00This broken rule worked like a charm!This broken rule worked like a charm!SamArtDoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322356829966791319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569842595006112796.post-59701300420821251582010-10-31T13:34:37.566-04:002010-10-31T13:34:37.566-04:00misprint, in parenthesis should have been lower l...misprint, in parenthesis should have been lower left.Double "D"https://www.blogger.com/profile/03650681131780105694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569842595006112796.post-48349156742823693612010-10-31T13:32:21.265-04:002010-10-31T13:32:21.265-04:00Ahhh, it's a beauty.

Incredible color and texture.<br /><br />As for the tree being dead center, you've succeeded in directing the eye away from the center. The main stem curving to the left along with the other stems. The lower position of green orange clump of leaves (lower right) All of which leads the eye away from the center.<br />The dark crown at the top is darker on the right side and the curve of the foliage pushes to the left. Then down to your focal point, right at the diva the grasses move to the right away from center.<br /><br />Hows that for convincing myself the tree is not in the center.<br /><br />I wish I would have purchased this one!<br /><br />Happy burger night!<br />pbDouble "D"https://www.blogger.com/profile/03650681131780105694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569842595006112796.post-73798836801176486002010-10-31T12:20:33.619-04:002010-10-31T12:20:33.619-04:00I have to admit that I didn't notice the tree ...I have to admit that I didn't notice the tree was in the centre until you mentioned it. All I could think was how beautiful the tree is, a lovely scene.
