Met Adventure, 38x36” oil on xtra fine portrait linen, as she looked at the end of day one

2:36 PM: yesterday i stretched a piece of 36x38” portrait linen with no idea what i might paint on it. this afternoon i started Met Adventure, inspired by photos shot from above of visitors to the Metropolitan Museum in nyc as well as other images including, as of now, a seated figure holding a red thermos, green leaves and a bowl of goldfish.

it’s an interesting beginning, and we’ll see where she goes tomorrow.
