In simple terms "Composition is the arrangement of unequal things", according to John Ruskin, English writer and artist. Deborah Quinn-Munson will expand on this idea by breaking down the painting process into 4 basic elements- shape, value, color and detail. She will focus on the percentage of these elements in an overall composition. The Rule of Thirds, Steelyard Composition and The Golden Section will be discussed. Finished paintings will be used to illustrate these concepts.

Loving bold color and energetic brush strokes, Quinn-Munson explores the contrast between nature's strength and its more gentle side. Her paintings bring us to serene and restful places with distant horizons and peaceful surroundings. She is a member of the Salmagundi Club, The Pastel Society of America, The Copley Society and the Providence Art Club.
