12:30 PM: after whiting over studio playday, today i took it in a new direction: a guy in an orange shirt climbing a big rock near the blue ocean. didn’t take very long because i love the new image so much that my brushes flew over the canvas in painterly dance moves. i may leave it as is and not fill in the rocks to his right. the violet shadow was a lot of fun to paint.
