the completed irma, ready to travel to the house
3:50 PM: today i re-stretched the completed irma on stretcher bars without the hard backing, making it much lighter. in a few minutes i'll drive it over to the house, where it will be hung and undergo scrutiny to determine if it is, indeed resolved.
it's a rare dark day, with rain on and off, which will transition to constant rain shortly. so i took advantage of the poor light in my studio to stretch 2 new canvases on stretcher bars with masonite backing, both 38x36". i painted a naples yellow tinted ground on both, and on one, which you see BELOW, left a few windows of white to fool around with once i start painting tomorrow.
