Editing for Composition

Here's a collage painting that I made that has a lot going on. Too much perhaps. But if I cropped it, I might see a stronger design, and learn something for future work.

Luckily the free photo program I use, Picasa3 has cropping and framing capabilities, so I can play around and see what it would look like in different sections, or different orientations.

Here is the same painting turned horizontally.

And cropped to look completely different.

I can see many possibilities for future layouts, even quilts!
