7:28 PM: watching fauci on cuomo. had a sweet dinner on the deck. saw an elegant doe with her 2 kids strolling across our property, watched another beautiful sunset, made richer by the lingering smoke from colorado wildfires. looking straight down, a shot a photo of our crstone conglomerate rocks.
3:19 PM: yesterday after working on 2020 creek oil 3, i did a bit of work on a new one: 2020 creek oil 4, which has the same dimensions as 3, two 16x20” canvases=16x40”
i didn’t get much sleep last night due to a toothache, and we took our trail walk this morning, which meant i didn’t arrive in my studio till a little after noon. so my work time today was short. nonetheless, i feel good about what i did, which incorporates some lessons i learned from what i did yesterday.
i’m waiting for a new air compressor to arrive this week, so that i can stretch more canvases. the old one died, and using a manual staple gun is too hard on my arm & shoulder, so i’ll just wait till it gets here. it’s always good to have a number of stretched canvases, so i can grab one, or in this case two when i feel stuck one something i’m working on and want fresh energy.
2020 creek oil 4 16x40” at the end of my work day
on the trail this morning
our trail walk was good; it had been over a week since we last walked due to mikela’s fall, which left her bruised and in pain. on the way down today, it was my turn to fall. those loose rocks can be treacherous! fortunately, i just got some bruises on my palms, but nothing serious.
