More and more when searching a location for subject matter, I looker closer rather than farther away. Yesterday afternoon I went out to Ocean Point where there is a lighthouse, old Victorian houses, a charming stone chapel, and lobster boats that sail close to shore, all of which I've painted before. But on this afternoon, I once again looked down in front of me. The gleaming white rock and the rugged foliage appealed to me, and I've learned not to ignore my first strong reactions.
The obliques attracted my attention when it became time to design the composition. The breaking surf provides the stopper horizontal.
Consider looking down, not out and beyond.
