- Jala Pfaff
- Boulder, CO, United States
- I'm a painter (and writer and Spanish instructor) living in beautiful Boulder, Colorado. I studied classical art in an ARC (Art Renewal Center) school, Colorado Academy of Art, full-time for two years, in order to benefit from the rigorous atelier-style training. I am currently dedicated to exploring abstract and semi-abstract art, working in oil and also in soft pastel. I firmly believe that all human beings are creative, whether or not they have yet found an outlet for the innate creative urge, and that the creative arts are the highest form of human expression.

loose? tight? which is more diificult? comparing both types and observing both types of artists' works, i would say both have their merits. perhaps there is a necessary development from tight to loose to learn but then that might mean back to tight again. i like this piece, so you have always been talented:) r.
It's fun to see the oldies but goodies! It's so interesting how our processes evolve - each step is really important to the next turn. Thanks for sharing these and the insight into your artistic roots!!!
Jala, your painting is very calming, your husband's voice is wonderful, and your Lynx is delightful. Have a wonderful day.
What a smart kitty! Thanks so much for the little video. I wouldn't mind more of these, you know ;)
That is a GREAT little video, Jala. I like *the husband's* mellifluous voice, too.
I've been thinking again about the loose vs. tight painting. What I particularly envy and admire about loose painters is how quickly many are able to bring a painting to completion; in hours vs. days, or days vs. weeks (this coming from a very slow painter who leans, sadly, more to the tight side). This strikes me as a better use of painting time, which always seems limited.
When I look at a 'loose' painter's masterful brushwork I'm invariably fill with awe and envy. I wish I could paint like that. Although truthfully I find tighter painting harder than loose, ‘loose’ just doesn't seem to be...'in' me.
What a great discussion you've got going here! I always struggle to loosen up (with my painting too - Teehee).
I've enjoyed seeing some of your older pieces and love the video!
Thank you all so much for your comments. Sorry I've been a bit negligent answering comments individually. You know how life is sometimes...
