My goal in this painting is to achieve a dynamic balance of harmony with variety. The harmonies will be from a  common denominator of color which makes the forms feel bathed by a common light source. The variety in the painting will come from a natural progression, a changing of hue, value, and intensity in each of the masses which make up the painting. There will also be a  major-minor relationship between many other aspects of the painting. For instance, the painting will be major dark minor light. There are also many other contrasts in the painting that will contribute to the variety. The mature aspens are juxtaposed against the fledgling trees and the dark pines becomes a stage for the lighter mass of the tree trunks and the intense foliage. As I create a few simple dynamic linked shapes which are unequal in mass, fill them with harmonious color, give the eye a small amount of detail to suggest a center of interest, I will produce a pleasing composition.  Robert Moore
