Anyway, this is in real life a medium to medium-dark value painting. (But not dark value. I think the photo is definitely too dark, even on my own monitor.)<br /><br />Hi Bonnie - And sometimes there's even beauty in math. :) I also have heard about the facial beauty thing. I guess it's because as humans we see symmetry as a a sign of good health, and so the more symmetrical body parts are, the more we subconsciously find the person attractive. But to me there's such beauty in the imperfect, too. I'd far rather have paint a "character model" than a perfect-looking one.<br /><br />Melinda - Cool, I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's something that has always fascinated me so much. My brother is a math/physics person too!Jala Pfaffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01186623108399217523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162020605981984694.post-41777218045436214562009-05-05T12:41:00.000-06:002009-05-05T12:41:00.000-06:00Thank you for sharing the link on the Golden Mean!...Thank you for sharing the link on the Golden Mean! I really enjoyed reading it and seeing references to plant life as well. <br /><br />I love hunting in resale shops. There are so many interesting finds. The shell painting is really dramatic. Well done.<br /><br />P. S. I, too, am not a math person, but I'm lucky to have a math son who tutors me about math and physics. Truly fascinating stuff.Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16793226305585541931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162020605981984694.post-24543707910510851832009-05-05T11:49:00.000-06:002009-05-05T11:49:00.000-06:00There's even math in beauty.
