2:03 PM: i did a bit more to il torrente just now, softening the yellows, adding some oranges & pinks and dark reflections beneath a few of the rocks, all of which you can see if you compare the image on the right with the one below.

1:28 PM: i had intended to continue preparation of my email to the gallery in tokyo, but out of the corner of my eye i spotted il torrente leaning against the wall and felt inspired to do more work on it. i used the white surface with faint markings in italian pompeii red as a ground for creek & rocks. the white now suggests ice and a bit of blue above, sky. i had a terrific time making the watery marks in red, blue & yellow., which may need toning down now that i look at them.
