3:43 PM: and one final palette knife swipe or two before leaving, softening the harder edges and helping create overall unity.
anschutz from above 8 as it looked at 3pm, following some modifications to the future & the green area adjacent
3:25 PM: I reduced the intensity of that blue line intersecting the green adjacent to the seated figure, and made that figure pop more. still needs work, but i’ve had it for today, so i’m going to call it a day & clean up.
anschutz from above 8 as it looked moments ago
2:21 PM: I made a slight but significant modification. after gazing at anschutz from above 8 while talking with mikela about how much raw, unfiltered honey to get on her way home, a kept casting glances at the painting. that vibrant green to the right of the seated figure, which is a new color for me to be using, kept drawing my eye. that almost always means it needs some modification. so I allowed the lines of the floor tiles run through it, which, as I write this, I see was a bit too much and the figure doesn’t pop enough. so here it is, and in a few minutes i’ll post the image of the softening of that line I just did.
anschutz from above 8 at 1pm
1:22 PM: I did quite a bit more on anschutz from above 8.lots more primary-is colors that come, to some degree, from looking at early dekoonings. i’m a bit surprised at how i’m able to continue with this anschutz theme. it’s really the combination of my ongoing passion for views from above integrated with my equally intense passion for architectural details.

the new anschutz from above 8 at 11 am today.
11:33 AM: as I said yesterday after stretching 2 new 16x20”canvases, I launched into the next in my anschutz from above series: #8.
like the others, it’s based on a number of photos I shot at the anschutz medical center in denver, from a 4th floor landing looking down at the 3rd floor landing, where patients are seated in armchairs and there’s a very wonderful view of the architecture and the view out the large windows.
