After reviewing so many paintings by various Pre-Raphaelite artists, I was struck by some similarities I would like to review through two sets of paintings which I have titled The Power of Three and Out of the Tree.
The Power of Three
The use of three central figures seems to recur quite a bit. I wonder if this number is the highest that can maximize visual impact while avoiding clutter. In this sense, the careful arrangement of three can be elegant.
Out of the Tree
There is something artistically appealing about the lines of a human figure blending with or emerging from the lines of a tree trunk and branches.
The only way I can think of to conclude this series and segway into other topics is to quote Monty Python. “And now for something completely different…”
PNEUMYTHOLOGY 
Ahem. Segue, not Segway.
Three also, as you know, has many associations in faith, myth and folk tale: Three Fates, Holy Trinity, virgin, mother, crone, Three Billy Goats Gruff, etc.
Really enjoyed this series. look forward to what you do next.

Thanks for the spelling correction. Glad you enjoyed the series. I’ll be dabbling with something much more recent starting next week. Take care.
