3:45 PM: i did quite a bit more work on jazz 20 this afternoon, as you can see if you compare it with the image in my 1pm post. it’s looking a bit dark right now, and that will likely change tomorrow.
DETAIL
jazz 20 35x37” as it looked moments ago. i’m continuing to work on it right now…
1 pm: following the tweaks i made to jazz 13, i moved on to jazz 20. the pale yellow i used to paint over previous stages of this painting is proving to be a very interesting ground for the figures i’m introducing. they have all appeared in earlier jazz series paintings. the paddlers first showed up in paintings i made in 2021, after discovering and photographing them from the bridge above the river just outside alamosa, colorado; about 50 miles east of our home in crestone. i’ll continue painting for another few hours & see where she takes me next.
july 2020 creek drawing in colored pencil
11:10 AM: yesterday while thumbing though an old drawing pad, i came across this july, 2020 creek drawing.
10:51 PM: i made a few tweaks to jazz 13, mostly to the female figure on the right.
and now, i’m continuing work on the many layered jazz 20, which was lightly painted over in pale yellow 2 days ago and is now dry enough to work into.
