This is another from my study of Edgar Payne's compositions: circle. In this one I'm using the tree trunks and the lines of the ground to create the circle. I'm bringing you into the composition near the lower left, having your eye come across the diagonal of the ground to the bottom of the aspen trunks on the bottom right, up the trunks, across the top of the mountain range and down the trunks in a kind of geometric circle.

Pam, I was attracted by your beautiful green, and was very interested by your explanations about Payne's composition;I am going to read more about him.Thank you!
Your right, it does move your eye around the way you have composed this piece. I love the colors in the trees and the color in sky makes me feel I'm looking into the trees in a crystal clear day.
You certainly accomplished your goal. Well done.
Thanks for the thinking process behind establishing the eye path. Now the path is plainly visible and makes sense to me.
I'm serious...I never seem to get it right (see it) until it is explained.
Guess I have weird eyes that travel in strange ways.
Love the painting, Pam! The tree edges have a very organic look to them.
Interesting study on Edgar Payne. Thanks for sending me the Aspens for my Wilderness Art challenge. I have it posted.
