Domino is cool!
Loosening up in painting sounds like freedom.
I hate to be the one to tell you, but Domino's last issue is next month! Lots of upset readers everywhere.
I love your painting :) - does that help?
Loosening up is harder than it sounds. I keep trying since I prefer the more abstract watercolor to the realistic. I find it difficult to achieve. I agree with your comment "the more I paint the less I know." It's so true.
