BELOW: gaze 14 before & after today's re-work
gaze 14, 32x32" as it looked at 2:30 PM
2:34 PM: as i said yesterday, after looking at the gaze series in the house for many months, 3 of them stood out as being unresolved & needing work. so today i began work on gaze 14. it began somewhat timidly and rapidly became a total re-work, with a different image, drawn from the same rubens portrait i was inspired by for the recently completed gaze 36.
i had grown a bit tired of the previous image, but some of it remains in the bit above her head. maps were collaged, which can be seen on the upper and far right, and lots of brushing and scraping took place with a variety of tools, most of which were not intended for use on a painting surface!
