figures from above II, 35x37” day one, as it looked at the end of my painting day today.
2:28 PM: i started figures from above II and will continue tomorrow, when i anticipate the composition will become more cohesive and interesting, having to do with the positioning of the figures as well as the background colors and how they’re distributed. the clincher in figures from above I was, i believe, the introduction of decorative leaf and blossom shapes, derived from 18th c. japanese prototypes.
11:21 AM: figures from above I seems resolved, so i’m starting figures from above II today. more as i progress on the drawing.
this morning i posted about yannis tsarouchis; here’s a screen shot…for the complete post go to facebook.
