I'm having that very same sort of dilemma as well, alexson. I dunno what it is, I suppose it is just another way of rendering, one of many, that calls for a high amount of concentration in terms of stroke economy and know where, or where not to render/polish fully. You know how a lot of artists say things like rendering/polish takes time to show through? I feel it may just be one of those things.
That tea kettle is done quite well, in my opinion. It's got that sort of painterly feel to it, evident brush strokes and dots of light, it makes sense. The seaside castle is also very nice. The main part with the pillars is obviously the main focal point, and the rocks beneath it have that same sort of painterly feel to them. I've noticed in a few other pieces you've been able to capture that same sort of look, and in others it's just as you say "sloppy", not to sound disrespectful.
I'm liking where your stuff is going, keep it up, and I hope I didn't type too much, haha. :]
