Thanks for the great discussion, Marc, and especially for introducing Stooshinoff to us.( I checked him out on his web site and Etsy; what a treat to see his work! ) I'm enjoying your conversations about the technical aspects of your work but also the thought processes that inform your painting decisions. Looking forward to more!
I am super excited about this dialogue on painting. Really enjoyed the insights from the Stooshinoff painting process. I had never heard of this painter before, but found what he had to say regarding intuition and analytics very interseting!
Amazing to me that the issue of thick or thin, body paint or wash, is such an issue with you. I have struggled with this for so long. I began with watercolor as a teen. When I began oils I tended to keep painting thin. Only fairly recently have l found some satisfaction with the texture issue. My current thinking on it is a mixture of both in a painting may be a good idea. But I’m never sure about anything in this thing called painting. An ongoing endeavor.
Nice, Mark .
Love reading your thoughts.
Interested that you are now using acrylics.
Look forward to hearing and seeing more.

Thanks for the insight. Looking forward to seeing the progression of this painting-Steve
This is great! I am hooked and looking forward to your further discussions about oil vs. acrylic. I want to get into using acrylic more.

Great things to think about. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your thoughts. It is really helpful.
Thank you Marc. I love how the simplicity of Stooshinoff's work. And your thoughts on the 'quest to know' all aspects of painting.
