after cutting up yesterday’s drawing into curvilinear pieces, I stretched a new, white 26 x 78" linen canvas over a piece of masonite to allow for future collaging.
i’ll get started on this new painting/collage tomorrow morning, after our trail walk.
before starting to paint, I just may make another large drawing in ink on white paper, then cut it up into pieces, which will give me more material to use in collaging.
continuing to look back at older paintings, I discovered this detail of a 1984 nyc cityscape.
it was done during the period when I was a member of fischbach gallery, which at the time was on 59th st. between 5th & madison avenues. my favorite subject at that time was, as you see in this detail, reflections of figures as seen in the large glass windows lining the streets of manhattan. sadly, I didn’t keep any of these pieces, which are all in private & museum collections.
