1/8/2022 polyptych, canvas 6 - day 2
2:28 PM: I continued painting 1/8/2022 polyptych, canvas6 today. the main figure thus far is a jumping skateboarder in red & blue. right now, although it may be hard for you to make out, he’s located creek-side. some sketchy trees have appeared above him, with mottled rock formations to his right. on the right side of the composition sit two workmen, who have appeared in previous paintings, restoring an ancient mosaic damaged by an earthquake.
as a composition, it hasn’t yet ripened, so a quick glance, while it’s striking, it doesn’t have the same kind of coherence we observe in the previous paintings in this new series. give it time.
