Oh, the best one:   "Composition in Outdoor Painting" by Edgar Payne.

Hi Jon.  Here is the list of references on composition. I was going to send this to your inbox, but thought others might want to peruse the list ..so here goes:  " Pictoral composition" by .Henry Rankin Poore.  "The simple secret to better composition", by Greg Albert,  "7 Keys to great paintings" by Jane Hofstetter.  "The 5 essentials in every powerful painting" by Ramon Kelly.  "A proven Strategy for creating great art" by Dan McCaw.  "Mastering composition" by Ian Roberts.  He has a 2 set DVD instructional video also.  "Strengthen your paintings with dynamic composition" by Frank Webb.  "Design and compositional secrets of professional artists" by:  International Artist.

Great fun to look at too Jon!

Gosh, thanks folks!  I seem to have a discrepancy problem between what I like in my own stuff and what other people appreciate - probably shows I don't know what I'm doing :)  - it was a blast to do though - I was thinking that if I enjoy painting this much, at least I'm sure to keep going!

Great job on this Jon, I am impressed by your similar subject matter but different approach to both boat paintings. You are on a roll with progress on your painting
