DETAIL of lucien eclipse moments ago
2:48 PM: trail walk this morning, more work on "lucien eclipse" this afternoon. got to my studio late because of our morning trail walk, and because i had to remake mikela's coffee after discovering a dead spider was part of the brew.
the brown on the right wasn't working. nor was the white collaged paper on the upper left. so i did fairly extensive work, but as far as i can see right now, it's still not there. although it does have a beautifully lyrical air, i must say. it conjures in the imagination red headed cartoon characters; blue eyed dragons yellow haired faceless spirits and branches making love with rocks and water. as much as i love the upper left blue/black passage, it's from a different universe at this point and must go. as a matter of fact, i may actually banish it forthwith!
