3:29 PM: yesterday while gazing at jazz 16 hanging in our bedroom, it occured to me/us that it would be a far more interesting painting if it were turned on it’s side. here’s the result.
to the right you see how it looked before the flip. it’s still a pretty interesting composition, but now i/we find it more compelling.
today was one of those rare days when i didn’t paint at all. i spent the whole morning trying to figure out how to adjust the thermostat in my studio. it’s impossibly complicated, and all the tech guys i spoke to agreed. rather than try and adjust it so that it’s set lower at night and goes up to 70F during the day, i just set it for a constant 70F …her it worked..i’ll know in the morning wheter or not it worked. it was way chilly in there today, and was snowing all day.
