by the creek, 89x94 cm./35x37” as it looks at the end of my painting day today
2:07 PM: i made more changes to by the creek today, reducing the harshness of colors and transitions of yesterdays version. the right section has elements from my most recent acropolis museum painting, next to which is the creek water and four figures who were there that day, with little boats. it reads as rather dark overall, which may change tomorrow morning. i loved adding those stripes of blue and yellow on the left.
the two themes: by the creek and the acropolis museum interior conjure a new reality, giving the viewer the opportunity to write their own story.
