1:57 PM: no studio today. mikela had a very rough night, with the worst post 2nd shot after effects yet. without going into details, it was bad. and if this is just a taste of what the poor souls who actually get the virus go through……
i’m still not back to normal either, so i decided to stay home, rest & keep mikela company.
what i decided to post today is a tour through the marks i’ve made on many of the paintings we have hanging here in our house.
i walked around the upper and lower floors, shooting details of all the paintings, which span about 25 years. i have referred many times to what matisse said about mark making, and how, over time, you find your personal language.
if you will take the time to scroll through the images below, and i realize there are a lot, you will begin to recognize my language. i’ve never done anything lke this, and it’s giving me ideas for the book i’ve been threatening to write. realism has little bearing. jazz is one of my favorite metaphors for what we’re looking at here. in jazz, you riff.
