3:38 PM: I did a bit more work on the 20x20 in. version, and created a second smaller version of 6/28/2021 creek drawing/collage, which is 20 x 16” BELOW, you can see them side by side; it’s what is known as a two-fer.I
2 PM: I cropped the painting, so that it’s now 20 in. square. i’m still somewhat in shock, and won’t know how I feel about this radical solution until tomorrow.
cropped 6/28/2021 creek drawing/collage after cropping to 20 x 20 in.
6/24/2021 creek drawing/collage on 6/29 11am
11:27 AM: I continued work on this new piece this morning and about midway into the process, I flipped it 90°. compositionally this makes a lot more sense. new blue marks intended to indicate sky are now found on the left. and a pink-red 4 inch square grid in colored pencil has appeared, covering the entire image.
as I gaze at it from 20+feet, I feel it need simplification, so i’ll get busy with that now.
