jazz 14 following todays work

1:57 PM: this morning i continued work on jazz 14 and jazz 20. both are still in process, and i’m feeling good about the direction they’re taking.

the bright pink background in jazz 20 has been whited over and awarm grey introduced around the paddlers. the tennis player on the right is now just a ghost image, as is the walking figure in the plaid shirt in jazz 14. both paintings now have a softer appearance, making it easier to focus on what have now become the main characters and allowing, for example, the red of her hat in jazz 14 to gain importance in the composition.
