Jimmie,

I already said I thought this was stunning, but wanted to comment on the loose vs. tight thing.

I dont know about you, but who or what I am painting affects that. And the mood Im in, the phase of the moon, whether Im hungry or full...etc. Go with the flow, maybe this one was supposed to be tighter. I think that your right, if you concentrate on working one way - it never comes out exactly as planned. As much planning as we put into our work - a lot of it is still just natural instinct and talent. Fighting our natural talents is a waste of time. Be free, I say! Whatever way you work - it's always outstanding.
