A painting that is all sharp and hard-edged may not give a convincing feel of reality, but it carries a certain conviction or emotional punch, whereas a painting with soft, dabbled edges can look pretty wishy-washy, even if more realistic.

It makes sense, I just hadn't thought of it. Often I've noticed you mentioning that you have said something before. I recently gave up teaching fencing. I can tell you that many times over the years I told a student something that I know I had been repeating for years and suddenly they would look surprised and I knew that it had registered. Sometimes I had used a slightly different phrase (I tried to do this often) but sometimes it was just the frame of mind that they were in. Never feel apologetic about repeating yourself. If you do it often enough you'll be heard.<br />Steve BakerSteve Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00827197940375395874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-90725572923943090052010-07-26T10:44:20.454-04:002010-07-26T10:44:20.454-04:00Hey Stape!
