"Golden Gate"

(Strong vertical lines enhances the upward thrust)

 

Directional Composition – A
The spear-shaped reservoir (white) pointing in the direction of the upstream catchments helps to create a feeling of increased horizontal space to the right.

Directional Composition - B
The downstream directional lines (red) meeting outside the picture frame, combined with the rising angel of the road, increases the “horizontal feeling” of space even more – this time to the left.

 

 

Composition A
Reversed S-composition (red) to emphasise depth by means of changing texture in applying the paint. Colour depth follows the same route – from the intrusiveness of red, orange and yellow, through the restful greens to the cool blues in the distant.

Composition B
A super imposed introverted spiral (white) keeps the eyes within the picture area, leading to the focal point where it can resta small little island from where one can discover the heart beat of the environment.
