indirect contact, 36×12” oil on linen, post-today’s changes
11:45 AM: upon entering my studio this morning, i cast a glance at indirect contact and felt it needed work. so i went back into it, focusing mainly on the upper half of the composition; particularly on the female figure. i found her ill defined and clumsy. i painted over her and reworked the figure so that now she’s seated and wearing a green dress, with some red flowers beside her.
the two paintings, now hanging on my east studio painting wall, work well together, and will likely be hung side by side in my upcoming exhibition opening in january, 2027 at shumei institute, crestone.
celebration 26 as she looked yesterday; she’s a companion painting to todays indirect contact.
