This is the third installment. I am adding details to the east side of Woodward Ave. using a picture shot in the opposite direction of this view. A friend of mine to whom I e-mailed the 2nd image thought that the ship was too prominent and dominated the composition too much. I will use detail to soften the presence of the schooner and use detail as camoflage to balance it with the street scenes in the background. The presence of the ship will then frame the street scene both to the right side which will be the dominant part of the painting and to the left side which will frame the street and harbor scene to the left side of the painting. I have loved to create what amountes to paintings with in paintings while having the varied and separate scenes function as a single painting. My, but I really do love my job.
