2021 watercolor 8, 12 1/2 x 15 1/2”
2:46 PM: today it’s chilly: 23F at the moment, but we’re going to take our stupa walk shortly.
i was going very slowly and delicately yesterday on the new 2021 watercolor 8, but today i launched into full on collage mode. so there’s a lot going on.
first off, you’ll see that i cropped a bit i didn’t think was working on the right. very little remains of what i did yesterday, which was inspired by recent photos of the ice bound creek. i used a few of my many saved paper oil palettes, which you will notice in the red and yellow bits on the middle right and left, as well as the tree and log bits on the top and bottom, as well as the purple shadow on the very bottom.
there is definitely a sense of the movement of flowing water amidst a characteristic playfulness i’ve had all my life.
