3:54 PM: i stopped working for the day and will continue in the morning. i like the big white collaged shapes and how the sound of a flute painting underneath this new one peeks through. those marks have become much more exciting in this new context. here’s the link to my sound of a flute series:

as a whole. it hasn’t yet jelled, but it has a direction.

5/3/21 creek oil at the end of my painting day today.
1:54 PM: i began work on the next creek oil, titled 5/3/21 creek oil. it’s being painted on top of one of my sound of a flute series paintings, which were all verticals, so this one, being a horizontal, takes advantage of some of the patterning designed for a vertical.

12:28 PM: it’s raining, which is relatively rare here in crestone/baca. it’s falling as s now above 11,000 ft., adding valuable snow pack at the very end of the snow season.
as i worked on completing the stretching of my next 26x78” creek oil, i cast glances at 4/29/21 creek oil and noticed an area in the lower mid portion of the composition which i felt needed a little work. so i interrupted the stretching and made some tweaks.
