3:46 PM: a few of my motion paintings are currently hanging in the aspen home of our friend dan, surrounded by his beautiful ceramic pieces. they will be included in my august carbondale exhibition, and i’ll be speaking with the director of carbondale arts about including some of dan’s ceramics in the show, hanging them around the paintings as they are in aspen.
watercolor 91 13x20” 6/15/20
6-15-20: this morning i attempted unsuccessfully to make a few additions to watercolor 91. never a good idea to mess with a completed watercolor. it became worse and worse, new marks on top of old, until the whole thing slid into oblivion. it happens. especially with the delicate watercolor medium. so i tore it up, turned the pieces over and am now using them to test colors on future works.
we had a facetime regarding our educational platform at noon. i started a new one, also called watercolor 91, just before leaving for the house, and completed it just after getting back, a few minutes ago. i love how spare it is, and the blues and greens, how they work together. one way of determinig the sucess of a small, 13x20” painting such as this is to ask the question: could it scale 2, 3, maybe 4 times larger?
tomorrow i’m having a new crown seated on an implant abutment in salida. i’ve been waiting for over a year for this crown, which will finally enable me to chew on the right side. so i’m excited!
