Tim: I would agree with you that some proficiency in painting multiple subjects makes one a better rounded painter and is worth pursuing.
I find myself doing a lot of figure work with landscapes as part of the painting, and I have done one or two still life paintings, but I lit them poorly and it shows in the painting. I need to do more.
BTW: I love that Sargent composition. It is so unusual and it really doesn't look - to me - like his normal work. The Fechin portrait is wonderful too - that is a man who understood value!
