12:39 pm: here's the completed parade 52 with 2 details.
11:39 am: here's what i saw upon entering my studio this morning. seems resolved, but i'll cast glances throughout the day, as i decide on the image for parade 53.
7:30 am: ABOVE: left-an early parade painting hanging in our house. it's 16x16" oil on portrait linen. it definitely points the way to more recent versions of the parade series, which will be shown in my upcoming solo show at gremillion & co. fine art, houston, texas. and on the right, our sky this morning at 7 am.
when i arrive at the studio later this morning, i'll determine whether parade 52, shown here on the right, needs more work or is resolved.
if it's resolved, then i begin preparations for the next in the series: parade 53. as it gets closer to the date of the opening, nov. 5th, i have more awareness of the fact that, sometime in the next 4 weeks or so, work on this series will end and i'll be focused on shipping the paintings to houston and, in the next week or so, deciding whether or not to create a small book with an online company introduced to me by a publisher friend in crestone. as well, i'd like to put together a short presentation consisting of a selection of the many stills i have of the process of creating this series. that includes stages of each painting, palettes from each painting, etc.
