Here is an excerpt from William's posting of October 6: The slap-dash look of much new painting is an expected way for an ancient art methodology to compete with the instantaneous flood of disparate imagery in our digital world. The carefully made, skillful, s-l-o-w painting may be out of sync with today's speedy change and flatter world. (disclosure:I am a slow, careful painter!).
It made me think of the work of an artist in England who used to teach at the St. Martin's School of Art. Stella Brooks Penrose now lives in Bath and paints all day long. She came to mind because she spends an astonishing amount of time on each work. For those visual artists on the forum who enjoy looking at the work of another accomplished artist, here's a url I recommend. The unflagging attention Stella brings to each work results in paintings that leave me in awe: http://www.bathartistsstudios.co.uk/stella-brooks-penrose.html
