10:34 AM: this morning, as I have done on many mornings recently, I had my breakfast while perusing one of my large matisse catalogues.
as I ate & drank, I cast quick gazes at the triptych i’ve been working on and decided to put it aside for a while & work on other things. it doesn’t work for me in it’s current state.
above me to the left is a series of ‘70’s paintings in oil on linen mounted on board of a fisherman from corthi, a village on the island of andros, telling the story of a miracle that occurred when he was a child in asia minor.
I have about a dozen leftover pieces of portrait linen, all about the same size: 70 x 35” which I cut down to 35 x 35.” they are the excess pieces I cut off at the end of the 86” roll as I prepared canvas for my 26x62” series of paintings.
I think I may do something with them today. whatever it is I do will be before 3pm, when we’re going to take an afternoon walk up cottonwood trail before our early dinner.
i’ll post updates as they become available.
