still life with refugees, 42x42” as it looked moments ago, after revising the band of color on the bottom

2:32 PM: as i said i would do earlier, i revised the band of color on the bottom of the composition, so the painting looks much better but still needs work. here’s a detail of one of the musicians from the collages i applied earlier today.

1:58 PM: i continued the modifications i strated this morning, working mostly on the perimeters of the painting. i’m not completely satisfies with the light blue horizontal band of color at the bottom, so that may change later today or tomorrow.

12:35 PM: this morning i collaged some drawings i made of musicians playing at the elton john/bernie taupin gershwin prize concert on april 8th. i had shot photos from the tv and turned a few into drawings, with the intention of using them exactly as i did this morning.
