5/12/25 ano kato, 32x36”, oil & collage on portrait linen, after i signed and stretched it today.
3:17 PM: today i stretched 5/12/25 ano kato, signed it and brought it ot hte house. stretching it made a big difference; the 2-3 inches of white canvas surrounding the composition is gone, which allows us to appreciate the whites in the painting and allows all the figures to breathe. the green leaves i added yesterday afternoon are critical.
