Oh hey yeah, you're right there, too. I know a ton of factoids as to what can make for a nice composition, but have trouble applying one without many of the others dropping out of my awareness. I was just making my painting much too busy, you're exactly right that areas of simplicity can make a painting much nicer.

As to the salmon, funny you should ask that, because it's the main dish my region is known for, since i live near the sea, and my distant relatives always marvel at its low price when they visit, since it's not even sold where they're from. So keeping in mind it's supposed to be really pretty cheap here, it's about $8/€7.24 per lb. A whole fillet (farm raised) is about $18.30. You can get exquisite just-caught wild salmon astoundingly cheap though sometimes, if you go down to the docks and buy directly from the fishermen.
