Balance

                                 "The Bay Lady"    15" X 22"


I placed the Friendship sloop Bay Lady on the third, but needed something else on the other side of the teeter-totter, so I placed the distant  three sails near the shoreline to balance the large boat in the foreground.  The sailboats at shore's edge also helped break up a straight line to avoid what Edgar Whitney called "monotony en route."

Consider balancing one large shape with several smaller shapes on the other side of the page.
