2:18 PM: i started out the day doing more work on 2021 creek oil 2, which i had worked on yesterday. when mikela let me know what curriculum she’d be working on today, which had to do with the future, i immediately kicked off my morning by scrawling words about the future in red paint, which of course have since been painted and scraped away.
BELOW: 3 stages of 2021 creek oil 2. on the right is the current state.
when i felt i could do no more and had to wait till it dried a bit to continue, i moved on to 2021 creek oil 1. the only thing left from the previous state are the faint outlines of rocks and trees. i find the current state interesting, less fragmented, even compelling. the right side works pretty well; the left needs work. i’ll return to both paintings tomorrow and see where they take me.
