my west facing studio door with my temporary fix
12:39 PM: so how come i didn’t do any painting yesterday? long story. briefly, we had two short but intense thunderstorms, with the wind blowing the rain and hail directly against my west facing, wide studio door. it was replaced following the flooding from a burst pipe a while ago, and the moulding surrounding the door hasn’t yet been installed. this left the framing surrounding the door exposed, with just some spotty caulking. so i had to find a way to cover that area where the moulding will go to prevent rain damage.the two strips of wood on either side of the door are old warped stretcher bars and the black bits above them are trash bags i cut up. it was tricky, but i got it done, leaving me in no mood to paint.
watercolor 52 13 x 20”
today i made a new one: watercolor 52. along the lines of 50 and 51, it’s spare, with a lot of negative spaces. the purplish color in what could be the sky is new. it lends another, previously unexplored note to the tune.
