The Huntresses & the Knight

A miscellaneous image. An offbeat composition where sky takes center stage and the knight is sort of lost among the foliage. Even so, it's a Flint!

Actually, to me, the focus is on the Huntresses and the knight is merely an object of their scrutiny. We don't even clearly see his face. It's a great composition, making the eye move around to take it all in, and circling back to the women, and the figure in the top left, and the collective intensity of their amused and interested gaze.; May 29, 2011 at 12:29 PM

I just think maybe the clouds could have been less dominant (less dramatic and more receded into the distance) to make that circle more effective. To my eye, the clouds are like an obstacle. Flint did so love to paint clouds.; May 29, 2011 at 1:07 PM
Annie said...: Yep- That center cloud does puff out, and tend to dominate.; May 29, 2011 at 1:28 PM
