1/6/26 oil, 24x24” oil on portrait linen, as she looked at the end of my painting day today.
2:32 PM: i spent most of the morning dealing with my malfunctioning macbook m4. i was on the phone with apple support, who were extremely helpful in clearing everything on the hard drive and preparing it so that i can send it in for repairs. they’re sending me a box and return label, so i’ll likely be without it for at least 2 weeks. so i’m typing this on my older 2020 macbook with the smaller 13” screen.
i spent the rest of my morning editing a text by my son dimitri, which presents his new producion of electra, by sophocles. It will take place at his athens theatre, POREIA., following a run at the ancient outdoor theatre in athens.i gave what i had done to mikela, who made some significant additions.
this afternoon i did more work on 1//6/26 oil, which still has no title other than the date it wa started. it’s getting more interesting, with a variation on matisse inspired motif, with the goldfish you’ll find in some of my erlier work. it’s still in process but i’m at the end of my painting energy for the day. so i’ll clean my brushes and get back to the house, where i’m expecting mikela to return from school in an hour or so.
