6:53 PM: we just returned from our first live visit with friends here in the baca grande. it was kind of a shock for us all to be actually sitting (at the recomended distance) outdooors on their deck having a real live conversation! and it was wonderful.
this was the first opportunity i’ve had since social distancing came into play, to make a drawing of a real person, excluding myself, who, of course is not a real person. it was so refreshing; moreso than we had expected. we’re planning a repeat in a week or so.
3:09 PM: here’s watercolor 25 on the left, and motion 39, 36x36” in oil on linen painted in 2016-17, which i was glancing at as i worked; interesting development, no? am i going backwards or forwards, or do those terms not apply at all?
12:47 PM: the final blue wavy marks i added at the end of the day yesterday were way too dark, and were overpowering the rest of the composition. so today i modified them, and as a result i think the composition as a whole now works. so i’m launching into watercolor 25.
BELOW: yesterdays version is on the left
STAY TUNED for updates on watercolor 25!
