1:40 PM: we’ll be walking up to the stupa in about an hour, so i’m stopping for the day, having made watercolor 168, my last painting of 2020.
it’s along the lines of 167, which i made yesterday, and has clear influences from this book, which is my reading material every morning over coffee. bonnard, vuillard, denis & roussel were french painters who explored the concept of painting as decoration.
this concept translates well into my creek-scapes, and has given my approach to them a new boldness.
