2:07 PM: after returning last night from our 2 week trip to nyc & washington, d.c., i returned to my studio. i feel out of it and very achy & tired. we drove form nyc to d.c. in an intense, constant rain storm that made it quite stressful. then we visited the vermeer show at the national gallery 2 days running. then a 7 hour flight, including a stop in kansas city, back to denver, followed yesterday by a 4 hour drive in blowing snow back to crestone. so i shouldn't be surprised by how i'm feeling.
as i was attempting to orient myself back to the reality of my studio space, i came across this painting, which is from my 2017 late summer series. i felt good about the painting, and made a few small additions. below left is the painting before todays intervention, and on the right, how it looks following the changes. they were, as you will observe, minor. but i do think they made a difference.
