12:48 PM: I did more on 10/15/2021 tools i’ve known 1, adding blue and filling in the canvas on the right with a hammer shape.
here, above the 3 canvases on the table, you can discern my tool drawer, which I was looking at as I made these marks.
I have more of these 16x16” blank stretched canvasses, and i’m about to take a look & see if I can find three more to paint on. i’m awaiting a delivery of more 26x62” stretcher bars in a week or so, so that I can continue the series, and this is what I may be doing in the meantime.
in a couple of hours, mikela and I will venture up the trail for the first time in more than 2 weeks. we’re both out of shape, and i’m still recovering from the after effects of our modern booster 3 days ago, so we’ll see how far we get.
10/15/2021 tools i’ve known 1 16x48” on 3 16x16” canvases
11:47 AM: I felt the need for something simple. tired of layering & scraping, I took 3 already stretched canvases, 2 white and 1 with a tan ground, placed them together on my painting table and made a drawing.
as i’ve done with my pen & ink drawings on paper, which I then cut into pieces and used for collages, I looked into my open tool drawer and began drawing, using 2 oil brushes and 2 small containers; one with a warm grey, the other with sennelier rouge coral hélios, with some gamsol turp substitute & a little neo megilp medium. this is where it’s at so far.
