2:46 PM: i accidentally erased what i just wrote, so i’m starting over. it’s now easier to see this as a horizontal composition, based upon my numerous creek photos. rocks, branches and pools of water have appeared, painted over the 2 underlying compositions, one of them vertical. so for example the blue cuvy marks on the left were originally mountain peaks in the previous vertical composition. in this version, they could easily indicate water. this layering, as you know if you’re a regular visitor to my blog, is something i love using to allow the eye to give layers of meaning to what it perceives and remove the composition one or two steps away from the photo-like image we can so easily understand. we skipped our walk yesterday due to the events in d.c., so we’re about to leave on our stupa trail walk. partly sunny skies, with a comfortable temperature of 34° farenheit at the moment.
1:16 PM: continuing work today on the constantly morphing 2021 creek oil 1, which has once again become a horizontal 26x78” composition. you can’t tell yet, but in a few hours you should see the bones of a creek inspired composition.
