Marina,
It's very interesting to hear you talk about picking the finest brush and finishing each tiny area in turn, that's what I do when I'm focusing perhaps too hard on detail... but I'm not surprised your viewers wanted to touch your beautiful paintings!
I couldn't agree more with your regret about the days being too short for our ideas and your feeling that the next piece will always be the best and the temptation to start the next before the last is even finished, I think that's the spur that keeps us striving to be better, I hope I'm still feeling that urge when I'm a dodery old artist pottering around in my 80's;-)
