"The conceptual artist wants to know, before he starts — before he picks up a brush — he wants to know exactly what the painting is going to look like. Whereas the experimental painter goes out of his way to avoid that. They want to make discoveries in the process of painting. So, it comes down to this fundamental question: Do you make the discovery before you start working or while you’re working? And in discipline after discipline, that is going to be the key question separating the two types of innovator." -David Galenson
I am an experimentalist working with new tools to discover what I can built with them. That has been the basic nature of my work up to today. These projects required a little more forethought.
I made some adjustments to the color of the overall piece. Adding shade to the whole landscape and declaring the focal point. The focal point sits near a juncture of the structure grid and needed little adjustment. I added an energy pellet in the form of a shadow just ahead of the pac-man figure.
Rotating the whole image made more of the focal point lay on my upper third line. Blending the corners made everything look appropriately aligned.
This is the side of a mountain at about 10K feet above sea level. The view is wonderful but could be better structured. Moving the path so it spans the middle of the picture spreads the viewers perception wider. more work was necessary to cover the original location of the bend. I played with the sky but liked the original better.
What could be changed here, the composition is perfect. I removed something, I don't think I like the finished product any more than the original.
