12:44 PM: a partly cloudy, windy day, but no rain forecast. we had a chance to look more critically at yesterday’s 5/20/21 watercolor/collage last night & this morning. i brought it back to the studio & did quite a bit of collaging, so that only traces remain of what i did during the tsarouchis exhibition zoom yesterday morning. it has a presence now that i don’t want to mess with. it’s one of those small works that could easily scale.
a flutter of leaves reminds us that we’re looking at something inspired by nature, as does the small swirl of blue creek water. the snippet of map of paris dead center, next to the number 12 leave us wondering, as does the breast on the upper right. the overall feeling is one of joy.
