Quote: Overlapping Adds Depth And Interest At The Same Time

"When I notice that I’m spending too much time on an element, it means I’m too much in love with that particular detail and I need to incorporate it into the balance of the whole picture. There’s not much sadder to me than to see a painter miss an opportunity to thrill by pushing and pulling pictorial elements apart or together. Elements must vary. Overlapping adds depth and interest at the same time, and keeps my compositions from becoming staid."
