6:56 PM: i did continue work on watercolor 110 but my carbondale exhibition is drawing closer and my mind was on the prep work i need to get done, so i made a mess of it, tossed the watercolor and went on to photograph 19 motion oils, 13 of which will hang in the show.
on the right is one of them, hanging in my studio next to the plein air oil painting it was inspired by. so my motion series are directly inspired by smaller works painted at the creek.
2:19 PM: going through some of the photographs i may use for my talk, i ran across this one of deKooning in his 4th avenue studio in manhattan, 1946.
7:59 AM: this morning we were supposed to take a trail walk but we skipped it, so i’ll get an earlier start today. my plan is to start my morning continuing work on the new watercolor 110, then move on to prep work for the exhibition, which is just 2 weeks away.
this is a ceramic platter in our entryway, which i painted in palm beach in the ‘80’s. i painted a whole series of them, which were made by a friend in w. palm beach. he would bring the freshly thrown platters over in his pickup truck, i would make paintings on them and then he’d come pick them up and fire them in his kiln. i must have made over 30, some of which are in our collection here in crestone/baca.
more when i get to my studio….
