The more I work on unifying my foregrounds with backgrounds, the more realistic my backgrounds become. Though that isn't necessarily a bad thing, it is annoying knowing that the harder I work the farther I get from my goal.
Maybe I should treat it more like the metaphor that frames the problem best: the rip-tide.
Whilst in the ocean, swimmers can occasionally find themselves being pulled back to the sea while trying to reach the shore. The harder they swim, the farther they get to shore. This is called the rip-tide. In theses instances, the swimmers are advised to stop swimming, as the waters will gradually return them to shore.
Maybe I should treat this occurrence as an artistic rip-tide. It could be beneficial for me to relax and go with the flow.
