I used composition in this photo by using the tree branches to help frame the photo and lead your eye to the nest and eggs. I took this photo by using a fake birds nest that was in our house and putting it in a tree in my backyard. something that I could improve in this photo would have been to find a less distracting background and to try to have used more elements and principals in this photo. The principals that I did use are light, texture and emphasis.

Yes, this is the same painting that is shown on page one, but it is tipped another way. There is an indicator on the back of the painting: a larger arrow and a smaller one, showing the primary and secondary way to show the piece. This is the secondary way.

Note the reference to "polymer" in the medium listing under the photo.
We see the word, polymer, on bottles of acrylic media, nowadays. In 1958, there was no 'acrylic' yet. Painters, interested in the new medium bought artist's grade polymer in 5 gallon drums. We mixed color into it in the powder state. I continued to use oil, as well.
Polymer was invented by an artist, associated with the Museum School. At about the same time, a corporation invented it, but the artist got the patent in first.

These are collages meant to play with composition and nothing else. They are a lot of fun to do. Blogged: caatjesartsystuff.blogspot.nl/2013/08/the-composition-boo...
Compositionally Challenged May bonus is Black and White architecture.
The contrasts of the roof shapes and tones drew my eye enough that I felt compelled to circle the block and park to have a longer look. Another fine example of the architecture at Lower Columbia College.
