Hi Jan. Great to see you on this site! Yeah, my goal in painting is all about being as raw and pure as I can be. To me, that's what makes a painting stronger than a skillfully rendered image in a more refined, reproducable medium. That being said, I always appreciate technical critiques since I'm always trying to improve on that. The towels initially struck me as simply an abstract compositional problem but I guess I should expect people to interpret beyond the artists intentions.
