7:34 PM looking through past paintings, i found this interesting comparison; rocks on the acropolis, which i painted about 15 years ago, and the rocks at cottonwood creek here in crestone/baca, which i painted this morning.
watercolor 26 completed
3:05 PM: today i completed watercolor 26. my grand daughter in athens, greece had sent me a beautiful drawing this morning, which i posted BELOW, and i suggested to her that she google matisse and check out his drawings. somehow, although i’ve been studying him a lot lately, just mentioning him to her translated to the kinds of marks i made, especially in stage 1, which you see BELOW. i think the watercolors i’ve done over the past week have been leading up to this moment; lets see where it leads tomorrow.
