Golden Mean Watercolor at Turtle Bay
Painted from our Lanai at Turtle Bay on Oahu - cropped from an original 3.9 inches by 9.8 ninches watercolor (on arches rough paper) with cropped version 3.9 x 6.3 inches Cropping from a 2.5 aspect ratio to a 1.6 ratio (near golden mean) accidentally to remove part of the painting. Then I applied a Wise Photo app for the Fibonacci Spiral. Interesting. No? Just to emphasize - I didn't consciously create a golden spiral 'armature' painting. 1. The cropping was done to eliminate an unfortunate part of the painting (EASY to do with paper). This resulted in the near golden rectangle. 2. The tree top turned out to be exactly at the golden point of the golden spiral (superimposed on the image after the fact, using the Wise Photo App). 3. I don't remember painting the darker dashes for the underside of the the higher clouds, but they occur exactly on the horizontal line that divides the right, vertical smaller golden rectangle into a square and an even smaller golden rectan
