2021 watercolor 2 11x15”
2:39 PM: following the delivery of a large 1984 oil of downtown houston, which had been out on loan, and a wonderful viber call with my grand daughter manio in athens, i started work on 2021 watercolor 2. the effects of looking at bonnard paintings while having my morning matcha tea are evident here.
bonnard: children playing with a goat 1895/99 168x130 cm.
i’ve taken some of the discoveries i made in yesterdays 2021 watercolor 1 a bit further. i like how the two blues play off one another, as well as the yellow marks on the lower portion of the composition. i think these nwe discoveries are bound to show up in the next series of oils i do. but for now, i feel like i’m still into making watercolors.
here’s one of the bonnard paintings i was looking at this morning.
