1:35 PM: i continued work on 5/30/21 creek oil, flipping it 360, yet again. a big rock has entered the composition, as well as collaged pieces of a cut up ink drawing i made this morning. the blue ripples in the creek water are always an opportunity for me to make the wavy, painterly marks that permeate my recent work. the pale pink border frames the entire composition, giving the eye edges to bounce off of and containing the multi-directional movement. a piece of bubble wrap pressed into the blues beneath the rock creates the illusion of, yes, bubbles!
it’s getting progressively darker, and we may be in for some thunderstorm activity. so i’ll see whether there’s enough light for me to continue today.
