Peg discussed many things, including what made a piece of art "interesting".  Even numbered pieces are OK.....
IMG_4545.JPG

But the human brain (based on scientific studies) finds odd number "things" more interesting.  See what the centered leaf adds.

Here, Peg explained adding in a focal point.  And she pointed out what "zones" of an object the brain tens to cue-in on first -- the upper right quadrant of a piece, as it turns out.

Peg was asked to critique various quilts for placement, color, focus, and so on.  We were thrilled out how impressed she was with the quilts.
