12/20/2021 oil/collage as it looked at 1:30 today
1:31 PM: I made more modifications over the past hour. BELOW is a comparative view, the the most recent version on the right. the changes are more subtle than the ones I made this morning. fro example, the black, patterned circular passage on the lower middle has been collaged over with a simpler geometric image. the white area beneath the dancer on the left now contains marks in siena similar to the ones in the upper right quadrant. a bit of the same cut off blue lettering on the lower right now appears, albeit in a very minor way, in the lower left corner of the composition. all this, as I cast glances at it from a distance of about 20 feet, gives it a more unified, less cluttered look.
we’re planning on taking our stupa walk in about an hour, so I may spend that time setting up my new epson printer. the old one works fine, but I wanted more precise, lively colors, which this new model should give me.

12:34 PM: holidays & weekends don’t mean much to us; just a great opportunity to get some work done uninterrupted. today is no different. i’ve been making modifications to 12/20/2021 oil/collage since I arrived in the studio this morning. the sun is out today, making it easier to see the colors. so far, I haven’t touched a brush. so it’s just been collage and some pencil & crayon marks. it’s definitely less congested but it ain’t there yet.
BELOW: yesterdays version is on the left.
