9/12/20 creek oil 16 x 16” at 2:30 PM today
2:29 PM: clearly, stage 2 needed more work. it wasn’t hanging togetger, hadn’t found it’s identity, it’s note. scraping & wiping & then working into it may have worked; i’ll know better tomorrow. when i cast glances at it right now, sitting on one of my easels, it makes me happy. good sign, no? the wiping & scraping brought some of the blue into the white, and visa-versa.
1:44 PM: i’m continuing work on the painting i started yesterday: 9/12/20 creek oil. i softened the blue and white of the middle band of roiling creek water, added a rock on the lower band and added to the upper band of forest and trees. BELOW: yesterdays version on the left.
