produce at suzanne & kent’s gig at the kiosk today
3:22 PM: i went back into abstract random 1 as well as watercolor 120 and spent the entire day on them. i think they’re both greatly improved and, for me, visually compelling. i have to run right now, but maybe i can write more about what happened today after we run into town and get more of the delicious local tomatoes at the kiosk, from our friends for years, suzanne and kent. right: right
6:42 PM: over the past 2 decades, there has been a clear evolution in my painintgs inspired by the creek.
this is very apparent in the paintings BELOW:
left: 2001, creek oil linen, 50x50”
right: 2020, creek oil 1, oil on linen, 26x78”
this evolution is also very clear in my current watercolor series. while only 5 months separate the two watercolors you see here; the one of the left was painted this past april and on the right, watercolor 120, which was completed a few hours ago. it’s revelatory even for me to make these observations more consciously as a result of this very post. i need a bit more time to digest this, but it did become clear to me today that the only way i could take this next step was to use use collage.
