3:35 PM: i was fully intending to start watercolor 22 when i looked again at yesterdays 21 and i just didn’t feel complete. the white spaces, which i normally love, were bugging me. so i picked up where i left off, fully aware that i might well regret it. so far, i don’t. is there a lot going on compared with where i left it yesterday? most certainly! is that detracting in any way from the painting as a whole? i think not! not only that, but i may even do a bit more tomorrow!

DETAIL of yesterdays watercolor 21
8:05 AM: here’s a detail of yesterdays watercolor 21 as it looked this morning in our house. in a few hours, i’ll be in my studio and begin work on watercolor 22. what will it look like? and will there be a 23,24,25, etc? or will i move on to a new series? watercolor; oil; gouache….what will the medium be?
it’s likely i’ll be venturing out to paint plein air in a few weeks, despite the face that snow is predicted for tonight. what will that new work look like, and how will it influence the work i’ll be doing in my studio? more later.
