Tom:

Thanks so much for you thoughts, too.

I hadn't thought of it like that, but it certainly makes sense.

I may be putting too much emphasis on it, but is seems to me that this "gray" question is vitally important. We would all be painting masterpieces if we didn't have to stop and consider how we were going to "knock back" the stridency of this or that passage. Seems to me, it's the art of toning down that makes it work. Even I can take straight color from a tube and put in on the canvas.

I love that little thought at the end of your message. It makes me feel like I should repay in kind. I used to study with this guy out in Colorado. He was full of humorous sayings that were also true. He used to say, "Remember, five minutes of lookin' is worth an hour's paintin'."
