6:54 PM: my friend, co-director of the gallery representing me in houston, texas: gremillion & Co. fine art posted this today on facebook. it’s one of the creek paintings i made in 2001, in oil on linen. i love seeing where my work is hanging; it makes my experience in the studio more meaningful. i do make art so that it canbe seen and enrich people’s lives!
we have a sister painting in our living room. it’s part of a series i did earlier on in our creek walks, when i used to jump naked into the 40° creek.
what i did today, below, and what i’ve been doing recently making these creek watercolors is an evolution from what you see hanging on this wall.
4:45 PM: we got a late strat on our morning walk and i didn’t arrive in my studio till about 1:30. by the time i had my coffee it was 2:30.
in looking at watercolor/collage 134 yesterday at the house, i was bothered by the green watercolor at the top, which was added at the last minute yesterday afternoon. so i collaged over it with thin, semi-transparent white paper from a roll i have, and then made some marks with crayon and collaged a cutout piece from an invitation i got from la louver gallery (in venice, ca.) in 2015. i may need to make further modifications tomorrow morning when i’m fresh. BELOW you can view and compare yesterdays version on the left with what i just did.
