11/30/2021 creek oil/collage after a spurt of work this morning
11:19 AM: I have the luxury of an uninterrupted day in my studio. i’ll stop working at 2:45 so we can take our stupa walk. i’ll also take a break in an hour to have a conversation with my grandson philip, who is at my son dimitri’s house in paiania, about 45 minutes from central athens, at the foot of mt. hymettus.
I dove in as a soon as I finished my breakfast, mostly using collage and oil stick, I have some nice thick ones and I love moving over already painted & collaged surfaces with a thick white one, leaving trails of tarlow marks. I also collaged a cut out piece of a sign I made for the ups driver, which is in bright red and reads like a banner over the composition. I especially love what happened with the white oil pastel trail over the newly collaged light purple map fragment on the left side of the composition.
