1:03 PM: while listening in to a zoom meeting that mikela is an active part of, i’m continuing work on this painting, allowing the conversation to affect the process. i’m not sure the greens work, so i’m going back into it. while listening to the zoom and painting i got a message from mark about our talk. he has a friend who has agreed to videotape, said he was planning on playing a bit, and asked if i was going to paint. i said yes, but i hadn’t really decided yet. so now i’m thinking about how i’m going to do that while everyone is socially distant.

and just one more thing before i return to painting. after typing this and then casting a glance at the painting, i was rather shocked at how vibrant the colors are. i can honestly say this is a new path for me.
