Introducing MooPig Paint

January 2009 is the year I complete 100 paintings, or two a week. Ambitious? You betcha.

At MooPig Paint I will post a painting for view. Here is a study in Fibonacci numbers and the role they play in proportion.

These fossils are in a triangle and placed at coordinates of a golden mean rectangle within the edges of the canvas. If you look closely you can see the construct lines of the rectangles.

I use this and other studies to teach others, especially kids about painting, and hope they get a better understanding of the rudiments of oil on canvas.

Longest Wiki entry I've ever read...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_number
this part here struck me much more that the equations....
"Fibonacci sequences appear in biological settings, in two consecutive Fibonacci numbers, such as branching in trees, arrangement of leaves on a stem, the fruitlets of a pineapple, the flowering of artichoke, an uncurling fern and the arrangement of a pine cone. In addition, numerous poorly substantiated claims of Fibonacci numbers or golden sections in nature are found in popular sources, e.g. relating to the breeding of rabbits, the spirals of shells, and the curve of waves. The Fibonacci numbers are also found in the family tree of honeybees."
fascinating, giving it some thought.
So, aside from that you have presented a sort of etude, no?
Very nice work and I enjoyed clicking on the image to biggify as it allows study of texture.

Jack, you are a Boheme, with a heart. When you ponder this painting, it has a surreal effect that makes you look, even though it is very simple. It made you "biggify it," even if you do not really want to. Good words, and very "astute."

That is the mastery behind the art, placement and format, and positioning of the subjects. The standard progression of 1 : 2 : 3 : 5 : 8 : 13 ... is beautiful to humans, and by all accounts to all living things on this planet. This proportion guide provides nature on Earth with a standard that supports the creation of beauty.

Why shouldn't art express natural beauty much of the time?

Now it's my turn: I have to go look up "etude." I am sure it will be right on track. Later, pd
