Thanks Richard. Sorry it took a while to write back here. I'm so happy you like the Schmid-esque brush strokes. I'm amazed how much you can learn from another artist by just engrossing yourself in their art. You still never look just like them, it's unavoidable to have your own signature, so I have found it so fun to delve into the styles of others as it only refines your own (in an ironic way).
