The 'Phi-Nest': Source to the golden section, golden mean, divine proportion, Fibonacci series and phi
Spent some time with Kristen's old box of watercolors, a few pencils and a compass today. I was up early with David and went he finally went down for his first nap of the day at 9, I got around to picking up the watercolor techniques book I'd been meaning to get to for a couple of months. Rather than get any serious attempt at painting done, however, I got sidetracked by a brief description of the Golden Section and ended up poking around our art history books and drawing diagrams all day. It really is amazing, though, how many places this proportion turns up in nature, and because of that, in art. This site is a good primer on the topic. (Wish I'd found it earlier this morning.)
