3:02 PM: i’m leaving 4/23/21 creek oil as it looked yesterday and taking a portrait break. this is day one of portrrait of m.b., 10x8”, gouache on paper. it still needs work, so i’ll continue tomorrow morning.
it’s suddenly become very windy, and we’re going for our trail walk in just a few minutes, so i’m signing off for now.
moments ago i sent off my proposal for a talk i’d like to give at the first U.S. exhibition of my old friend & mentor, yannis tsarouchis, in chicago. more about this later.
6:42 PM: everything we saw, heard smelled on our walk was vibrantly alive and in the process of regenerating. why shouldn’t we too be part of the process? my dad, before he passed, had certainty that we too regenerate and come back.
day one: portrait of m.b. 10x8” gouache on paper
