rhyton, 28x24” oil & collage on linen following this afternoon’s whiteover
2:26 PM: iwas in a whitover mood today, so after whiting over argolid (see below) , next on my list was rhyton, which was way too blue.
acropolis museum II following the work i just did, introducing blues and yellows.
1:24 PM: i’ve been gazing at acropolis museum II, hanging on my south studio wall, since the last time i worked on it, november 30. something was bothering me, and when mikela came over to look at my latest work yesterday aftewrnoon, i suddenly saw there was too much white. so just now i worked back into it with blues and yellows. i think it has improved.
BELOW: THE NOVEMBER 30 VERSION IS ON THE LEFT
12:10 PM: argolid had become too congested and was too much me attempting to repeat the successes of yang. so away it went, under a flurry of white brush strokes. the few spots that peek through are, unexpectedly, turning this into a painting i could gaze at for extended periods! and gaze i will, as i leave it hanging on my east painting wall and move on to other things.
