Linda,

I see a very interesting development here. The forms are holding together more, i.e. I see the large shapes, and elements are simplified. Was this what you were working on? I still see the surfaces broken into colors, but there is a hierarchy now, in which smaller pieces are subordinate to the larger ones. Not that this wasn't present before--you have a good sense of composition always--but it is more accentuated and perhaps intentional here. The effect is more serene. Lovely!

I'd like to say I had the forethought and skill to compose consciously, but a lot of what I do is intuitive. I definitely wanted the layers of atmosphere, but for me a big focus was to keep the boat from being too much the subject, and the children from being together while doing their own thing. I'm glad you like it and see an improvement in my work!
