1:11 PM: gotta stop early today to get stuff done this afternoon. but it was a critical day in the evolution of this painting. i scraped it, then went over with foundation grey, scraped again and began working into the wet grey paint. it’s not there yet, but i think it’s pretty far along. and already has that layered, enigmatic look i’m loving so much lately. 2 new figures have shown up, both inspired by photos of the post-2020 tokyo olympics celebration.
