tennis/skateboarding panorama, 19 1/2 x 80” this is an older painting i found in my storage room
4:22 PM: after working on jazz 20, i began re-working an older painting that was sitting in my storage room. it’s 19 1/2x 80” and it was partially painted with some figures. so i added 3 more figures: 2 skateboarders & a tennis player. right now, i’m calling it tennis/skateboarding panorama, but that name probably won’t stick.
jazz 20,35x37” as it looked following an application of pink oil paint i mixed earlier and then scraped into
10:59 am: my day wouldn’t be complete without some scraping, right? it seems to be the hallmark of my current way of working, eliminating the predictability of preciseness. you can’t predict what exactly will happen when you take a spatula and scrape across a freshly oil-painted surface. on the other hand, it’s not completely random, and does have a lot to do with how your arm and hand move, in a way that totally reflects your gut. your GUT!
