I will put together an article or something which illustrates how I use Phi to develop a painting. In case you don't know, the number Phi is: 1.61803... I do round the calculations off a bit. I don't worry about being exact.
In the above painting, the lone aspen to the left of center falls along this vertical ratio division. The left edge of the tree at the base lines up with the Golden Ration and the right edge of the tree lines up with it towards the top of the painting and in the reflection at the bottom of the canvas.
The other verticals are derived from the ratio by subdividing several times.
Horizontally, the Golden Ratio intersects the aspen mentioned above at about a third of the way up the tree at precisely the black 'scar'. It's hard to see in this small image above. The horizontals along the bank of the lake are mostly subdivided based upon the ratio. The point where these horizontals end are mostly at vertically subdivided points.
Yes, it would be easier to explain with a visual. I will try to put something together in a week or two.
