12/20/2021 oil/collage 33x46” following todays modifications
1:55 PM: i’ve been revisiting recent paintings I thought were resolved. when I looked at this one, 12/20/2021 oil/collage 33x46”, I felt the bottom quadrant was too busy and needed simplification. rather than working into it with collaged elements, I used titanium/zinc white, which I then painted into. the delineation of the two dancers white tutus are now more pronounced, and colored pencil marks similar to the ones in the upper right have appeared beneath the dancers & to their left. i’ve learned to stop for the day when I run out of steam, & i’ll see how I feel about it in the morning.
BELOW: a comparative look at the before, on the left & after
