What is too much or too little detail?










I am always wrestling with how much information to put in a painting. I think I am not alone in this. The spontaneous can be very attractive, as you see the brush movement on the canvas, the confidence of the painter, but it is detail that makes you come back for more, to keep you looking longer. When is it still fresh, but invites longer observation?

  1. Very nice. It is a struggle how much to eliminate. This looks right to me. Nice format and colors.
