Well, I do have an opinion on this, and it results from some recent professional advice given to me. I was told that I should spend some time on landscapes and it would improve the portrait painting process. So, I've been doing that and learning a tremendous amount about composition, perspective and color. My view has become less myopic and I've actually broadened my horizons. So, I say keep the palm tree,ocean and the girl with a perfect figure for a figurative painting. Or have I completely missed the point?
