2021 creek oil 9 as it looked at the end of my painting day.
3:57 PM: 2021 creek oil 9, stage 3 and 4/3/21 2021 creek oil 9 modifications.
this is a good example of why i love working on more than 1 painting at a time. as i was continuing work on the new 2021 creek oil 9, i saw some changes i needed to make on 2021 creek oil 4, which has been hanging on my studio wall for a couple of weeks. discoveries i made on #9 allowed me to update #4, and as a result, i think it had improved significantly.

11:30 AM: i took a photo of one of the walls in my studio this morning. here’s what you’re looking at, starting at the top left & going clockwise: a sketch for a painting of my grandson philip, when he was about 4 years old; a 1980 photo i shot of david hockney on his deck with his pup; my dad at his bar mitzvoh; a sign in houston announcing a talk we gave on mikela’s book, navigating the future; a little watercolor of mikela with her coffee mug; a page of a byzantine manuscript given to me in the ‘70’s by a friend in athens; a strip from one of my oil palettes, ca. 2014.
