celebration 21, 32x36” oil & collage on portrait linen at the end of my painting day today
2:53 PM: i took celebration 21 to the next level today. i collaged a piece of paper with some calligraphy in the central area of the composition, and began adding two birds inspired by an ancient roman mosaic. i like what happened; that said, it needs more work to reach resolution.
being in my studio almost every day, as opposed to the old days when we were travelling extensively to lead seminars and do consulting, home for maybe 2 weeks then off again. the resulting continuity i find priceless!
