What’s on ye olde easel: Waxwing painting

with one comment

Just finished this one. The title of this painting is The Double Arc of Natural Selections

Arc-of-Natural-Selections-web

Its compositional form is a Double Rabatment of the Shorter Side of the Rectangle, set dynamically as a 5:4 ratio within the panel’s 11″x14″ proportion. What is a Rabatment? It’s music to the eyes. I’ll explain it in a post soon. Or, you could learn this and other forms by taking my Fall class at the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, Art 312:Form and Composition. :) This painting is part of my current series, titled Flightpath.
