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.
