Symmetry

My old art teacher used to preach at us to use repetition of line, form, and color, in order to achieve symmetry in our paintings. I still look for these attributes in potential images. Here we see just that. We see the repetition of line form in the parallel tree trunks and branches. We see at least three sets of parallel line shapes. Sometimes shapes and forms like these end up in my images without having consciously looked for them. Another wise peace of advice is to "keep it simple", or "less is more". The above image meets those requirements, and as a result it becomes an appealing image.
