I am going to do some experimenting. I'm going to do some painting without concern for the outcome. I'm going to play with focus; I'm going to use blurred peripheral vision for a painting - and then focus on one area. I'm going to thread my focus from the whole to the parts to the whole to the part to the whole to the part and finally to the whole instead of focusing on the whole, then the parts then the whole. Mainly I'm going to look at the whole a lot more when I'm painting. It's just a matter of training the neurons to travel certain pathways more frequently.
I also have an experimental idea for a self portrait that I'm not going to tell anyone about until it's done.
All this will have to happen later - next week I'm going out of town and won't be painting. I'll stop by a museum and visit some galleries, though.

Kind of a nice play on words, too.
Love you.
I am scratching my head. What play on words? xo
Don't they refer to the sharpness of focus of a digital picture as "resolution"? It was a stretch that kind of blurred the meaning...sorry.
Oh, I get it now. You're good Nancy.
