Thank you Sky for that "tight "letter. I too (gulp!) tend to paint what is
(not lovingly ) called tight. I love getting in to detail and sharp edges......
not that I don't appreciate loose painting-----I love it!. But it is not me
...I guess. My absolute worse painting I ever did was a timed one. Gosh I got
killed in that critique, but still got an A in the painting course! And please
, like Sky said, no Freudian analizations or generalizations.
