12:26 PM: I didn’t sleep very well, so this might be a short work day. when I entered my studio and glanced at 1/8/2022 polyptych, canvas 7, I felt like it needed some breathing space. so I collaged a piece of a magazine article which contains black geometric lines on a white ground. it’s just what was needed, giving your eye room to wander more freely and explore the finer details of this new painting/collage.

then I moved on to a new one, which at the moment has a delicate painterly touch and gives the impression of a flying skateboarder with a minimum of painterly strokes and just two colors: violet and yellow.
i’ll likely do some more once I post this, but I don’t have much juice left for today.

2:17 PM: I added a second skateboarder to the composition. after resting for a bit I got a new burst of energy. I like what happened to the composition, which is now much more vibrant. lets see what happens tomorrow morning…
