That's not true at all. Most of my work involves no blurring. I just added the blur to make it feel deep... draw the viewer in more. It's called "Depth of Field". Photographers can use different lenses to get the same effect. I used photoshop and just blurred out areas that are further away and extremely close... leaving the middle ground in focus. Even 3D apps have a DOF (Depth of Field) setting. So... I don't try to make my art "look more painted" because it's not paint. No need for me to "distract" viewers from my work.
