Thanks.
I'm not quite at the point where I can have a purpose in mind for texture yet. I'm still playing around to get a feel for things.

I did go searching for a nice canvas texture yesterday and I think I'm leaning towards liking finer textures like sand, fabrics, etc as opposed to the more coarse patterns.

I think the thing that bugs me about this one is that the texture is unbalanced with a lot on the right and not much on the left.
