So, this one is not as loose as I had originally intended, but it is not a backtrack from #2. That is some kind of progress. I complicated things a bit with this background andamento; it is trickier than it may seem. Still, it did not take me as long as if I were working in my usual, more exacting manner. I like that.
I absolutely love this mix of red marbles and travertine. Just love it!
On to the next one, on which I am determined to push the looseness envelope a bit further!
