1:11 PM: I made a few more tweaks to the figure of the skateboarder’s pink shirt & then started a watercolor inspired by photos I shot this past june of our cacti in bloom.

11/30/2021 creek oil/collage following my morning tweaks to the area beneath the skateboarders face

10:14 AM: that area just below the head of the skateboarder was bugging us both. so I made some tweaks, which toned down the collaged map and introduced a bit of the blue that’s in the neighborhood, and made some improvements to his face, hand & cap.

BELOW are details of that area. yesterdays version os on the left.
