pine peak II, 42x42” oil on linen on day 1
3:13 PM: i decided to let pine peak I sit for a few days, to determine if i want to do more since it felt resolved at the end of the day yeasterday.
so i started a new one, pine peak II, with the same dimensions: 42x42”. it started out with a number of drawings in pencil, some of which can still be seen. then the process took over , until that moment when i could do no more and had to stop for the day.
the figure on the right was inspired by an old photo i discovered this morning in a box sitting in my upstairs storage area. it’s of a girl who looks to be about 14, but it was too long ago and i have no idea who she is. below her to the left is the by now familiar striding figure in the plaid shirt, originally inspired by a photo i found online of the main character in the tv serial the good doctor.
a new kind of composition has been emerging, which i would describe as more painterly as well as coloristically bolder.
