6/10/93 woman asleep on the ferry to andros
3:21 PM: i continued work on the new 4/9/21 watercolor. i’m working with it lying on the table; because of it’s size, that’s easiest for me. i’ve already added 2 small collaged bits,, which officially makes it 4/9/21 watercolor/collage.
i included a bit of my studio wall because if i posted just the painting, like i did earlier, it gets much too long on the page. but if you click on it & make it full screen, you’ll be able to see the composition pretty well.
when you do, you’ll notice elements i’ve been using in the oils i’ve been making over the past month or so, like the figures towards the bottom, who are visitors to the acropolis museum in athens. in the center is a creek-scape and on the top i’m using a photo i shot a few months back from out entryway looking out. what you se eis a reflection, which is why, above the railing, you see blue sky.
nothing pops yet, but that should happen tomorrow or sunday. good shabbos, by the way, to all you jews out there. i always think of my dad lighting the sabbath candles on friday night. so, until tomorrow.
1:42 PM: i started work on a new watercolor, consisting of 3 stacked pieces of watercolor paper. total dimensions: 44 1/2 x 5” or 113 x 12.7 cm.
at work on the new watercolor this morning
9:19 AM: got to the studio early today. before having breakfast, i thumbed through an old drawing book and found this 1993 drawing of a woman sleeping.
i just discovered that this drawing is included in the selection of drawings on this page of my site:
