New Beach Painting Concept

In math, I have always found mapping objects to surfaces fascinating. For instance, on a flat plane, the angles of triangles add to 180 degrees. however, if triangles are mapped to the surface of spheres, the sum of their angles is greater than 360 degrees.

This is the concept I am going to use in my new version of the beach photograph. I am going to create each surface very clearly and well defined and within the confines of distinct geometric objects. then I am going to "map" the grass, also as geometric objects, onto each surface. I am really excited! This approach is a very different one.
