Alex, you are right - as always.
Kevin, thanks for your insight about the painting. It is very helpful to hear comments like yours, as it makes me look at my work much more objectively, as though someone else had painted it. And, of course, I like very much to hear that people like what I have done, but such as positive response is inspiring because the aspects that are being spoken of I know how I did them, and what my mental attitude was at the time, and so can move on logically forwards.
Carlos, thank-you also for your warm enthusiasm. You're right about wanting to please others and yourself at the same time being tricky - it is, but I think that we ourselves are, in fact, good examples of our audience and if we are not getting good responses, we are not having those responses ourselves to our own work i.e we are not really being honest about what it is we want to paint (at least I think so, or at least it seems so for my own work).
