Good question Jeff. I thought about this for a while after you posed this question, and i reckon it's for the audience's sake, like what you mentioned before.

I do also see that this is a large painting, and the subject matter does look serene and peaceful. Theoretically having the grid, to help him gain a balance, may be just the thing to help him create that spatial balance on the canvas.

Correct me if i'm wrong guys.
