1:44 PM: a new pair of legs has entered the picture plane. they belong to a student who is holding a mysterious magic white wand.
lots has happened since yesterday. i like how i broke through the predictability of the pink border with the student’s legs, on the left. i also like what happened with the cabinets behind the girl on top. that ochre really does it for me. the red box above the student on the bottom was needed to break up the space between her and the rest of the composition.
long narrow compositions can be tricky, but i have always loved this shape. just as i have always loved figures viewed from above.
the reds bounce from her bracelet to his socks to the water bottle on the shelf.
she’s definitely singing! i’ll know on saturday morning whether she’s pitch perfect. tomorrow is the installation of my permanent crown, replacing the temporary i’ve had for a couple of months. so i won’t be in the studio tomorrow.
i did go back to the studio with mikela just now, and we both almost fainted with pleasure looking at her!
at work this morning
