dwell 17x80” after todays modifications
3:32 PM: this morning i continued preparing paintings for the aspen show, taping the edges, selecting the ones in frames under glass, etc.
i’ve been casting glances at dwell for weeks now, ever since i last worked on it, july 7. and finally, today, it’s turn has come. i did a fair amount, going over it with a thin layer of pinkish yellowish oils, then doing my usual scraping, blotting, rubbing, after which i began painting into it. it’s not singing yet, but if you listen carefully, you can hear some faint chirps. of course with my tinnitus, i hear ringing constantly, but that’s very different from singing!
that very wide expanse of canvas needed breaking up and, even after what i did today, it still does.
