Michael,

Great job on the painting! You and Linda.

I noticed that in most of your paintings that I have seen, that your technique is that your brush strokes do not appear to be visible, very smooth. In the painting shown above they are very loose, I'm sure due to the given amount of time.

My question, is it difficult for you to make that creative shift from a more refined technique to a "loosely" painted look? How do you prepare yourself mentally to make this shift?

I've tried many times to "loosen up" with my painting but seem to fall back into looking for details and overworking. Maybe it's just my "style" for lack of a better word.

Hope this makes sense.
