Peter,

Thank you for the challenging comments. Interesting to me is your suggestion to spend an hour looking at the Rembrandt. I did exactly that. And at the Met. And at the Norton Simon. Steal from the rich is my motto.

I have thrown away that book, so to speak. I am thankful to Mr. Sanden because his book was an invitation that I am glad I accepted. Beyond that, the path to developing one's own language is a lonely one (with the exception of the occasional Rembrandt pilfering, of course).

My hope is that the lack of concentration to which you refer is really lack of experience in my part. I am tentative because I cannot yet visualize the finished effect before I start. There is so much to be aware of and I am running in the dark. Steal from the rich.
