watercolor 146 at 3:30pm
2:24 PM: aware of the importance of all the white space in this watercolor, i proceeded to work on it, doing a very little bit at a time. now i’ve stopped for the day, and will re-evaluate once we’re back from boulder, where i’ll have my root canal tomorrow.
BELOW: the before & after
i’m trying various maneuvers to heal my foot until i see the doc in denver in a month. the one i saw in salida may have given an accurate diagnosis, but his suggestions on how to deal with it were amateurish at best. the guy i made an appointment with in denver is rated as the best in his field. so until i can get in to see him, i’m trying ice, massage, taping big toe & one next to it together to allow the ligaments to relax & everything to align…..all stuff we found online in our search for solutions to capsulitis. i should have the new pair of boots recommended for this condition in about a week…
this morning i was reading my big vuillard book, and found this painting, BELOW, for which he used photos he shot from the first floor looking down. i learned that he used photography a lot for his work, and simply rearranged the composition and positioning to his liking, much as i’ve been doing.
