Six in a Row
(12" x 24", oil on canvas)

Basic rules of traditional composition tell artists that every painting needs a focal point. Generally speaking, this focal point will grab the viewer's eye then lead them through the composition. However, as most of us know, rules are meant to be bent, broken, or at the very least tested. This piece does not really have an obvious focal point; each of the apples plays a near equal role in the composition. There is no tension... just a quiet side-to-side rhythm.
