Alex,
I should so have liked to read your whole essay about not getting too close to reality.

I know why I want to incorporate the looseness in the painting. That is because I love to see the paint and the brush strokes - the process.

I like the vignette character and try to make a space for it even in a finished work. It makes a sort of vibrato to the whole expression, much like the one in the impressionistic paintings by Monet, though not only related to color but also to the shape of things.

Allan
