Aster

12"x 12".....oil.....canvas.....painted from life.  The Asters were grown in my garden.....I am concentrating on my compositions and feel that they are tighter and more interesting.  I divide the canvas into thirds and find the 'sweet spot' in one of the intersections of the lines as they intersect.  This assures that the composition is not right in the center of the canvas and is more interesting and better aligned.......I also do a very simple yet accurate drawing of the general layout and then find the dark, medium , and light value structure.  With this painting I laid in the dark values first and then the secondary values and the light values are the last ones to place.  I stretch the values to create a nice tension.
