luck and magic, 32x38” oil and collage on portrait linen
afternoon moonlight, 42×18” on day 1
12:59 PM: this morning i stretched luck and magic, 32x38” which was completed april 7th of this year. it’s one of the more dynmaic paintings in this series. the two figures: the guy in blue doing a dance move and the guy with the checkerboard patterned sleeve doing a handstand have an unexpected (for me) relationship. the figure in blue seems to be observing the handstand figure with awe. they are interdependent.
the painterly brush strokes provide the figues an environment mirroring their movement; free and spontaneous.
late this afternoon i started `afternoon moonlight, 42x18”. it’s just a drawing with a few colors in crayon & pastel for now, and will evolve further tomorrow morning. it’s inspired by photos i shot this past tuesday while having dinner in salida.
