Beauty ~ the adjustment of all parts proportionately so that one cannot add or subtract or change without impairing the harmony of the whole.
Leon Battista Alberti
This little pagoda was outside of an Asian restaurant in Boca Raton near where we used to live. I thought the proportions were just perfect. Another one of those little paintings I have had sitting around that just needed some finishing touches ~ I think in spite of the color scheme it's very serene. I darkened the background a little ~ the original brighter red was too great a contrast with the green leaves and I wanted the pagoda to stand out a little more. It's amazing how different things look when you go back to them after several months!
