Dear Allan,

-yes, I see your point with the negative spaces. However, in motives where you want a specific item to stand out, you must put emphasis on this item somehow. Richard Schmid for instance will be extremely loose for most of the painting, and then a single person is painted meticulously accurate. This always intrigued me. I think my main worry is to loose my way if I'm not careful (and it often turns out to be too careful).

The thing about two colors - could you elaborate a little on what you mean. Are we talking "monochrome" or "grisaie"?

All the best

Mikael
