Description
This is my composition study for my painting "Enlightenment."I thought why not include these drawings in my gallery. They look so amazing to me, so I have no excuse but to share them with the world.
Hope you guys enjoy. Most of this drawing is just searching out the golden section ratios, and the square roon of phi as well. Another aspect of it is the classical renditioning of compositions for paintings. Most times these days people don't even put any thought into their compositions and it is such a shame. I hope maybe these drawings might inspire a few of you to get out there and do something true and real.

Nice to see the "nuts and bolts" of a composition to see how it works. Just like the schematics DalΓ showed of his "Leda Atomica."

yeh, he has a book called "50 secrets to magik craftsmanship" that delved through alot of his athematical sequences. this comp. was done during a class i took called "golden section" theory and now everything i do is so thoroughly involved in math. it seems like it gives my work a bit more substance aside from strict representation or color or etc...

Structure can be everything...I especially like found objects...believe it or not alot of proportional analysis went into such things as the Coke bottle and the 1966 Corvette Stingray. Later!

its just a way to compose a piece by using sacred geometry as a foundation for placement of certain objects and how they relate to each other in the finished product.
