Yes, I know this is an odd question. While going over a number of my paintings, I found many, not all, but many, especially in landscapes had sloping triangles facing the same way. By this, I mean for example a hill that slopes down from left to right. I noticed that several of my works exhibited this and I began wondering..... It may be just a coincidence that the views I see are just that way, but then...? I often apply the rule of thirds (or try) and use diagonals in whatever direction enhances the painting. The "insight" was brought about when I wanted to draw a landscape that sloped down from top right to lower left and found for some reason, it was uncomfortable. I am right-handed. There was a photo that I painted (hill top left to the right lower) that worked well and felt "good", I tried to do it sloping the other way blehh...
Maybe it's just me, but it was weird. I mean I sketch often what I see and it seems to work, is this a coincidence or bias???
