girlfriends, 25x25” colored pencil & oil on stretched portrait linen
11:34 AM: i continued work on girlfriends this morning, adding colors to the girl on the right. i was in my groove, and stopped working once it evaporated. knowing when you’re in the zone is as important as recognizing when you leave.
i’m painting standing up, with the canvas flat on my painting table. for the umpteenth time, i’ll say just how superb this xtra fine portrait linen is, and how it allows the painting to paint itself.
