5:16 PM: today i started work on the new jazz 7. what you see here is an underpainting, and much, if not all of it will be painted over.
it was inspired by an 18th c. japanese print, and it’s sexuality was common during that period, when censorship was unknown. as a result, there’s an innocence that i find touching. the characteristicallly subtle and sensitive patterning is something bonnard, vuillard and others drew from heavily.
i’ll continue working on it tomorrow morning, and will post updates then.
1:09 PM: when i first entered my studio today & glanced t jazz 6, the upside down head on the lower right seemed a tad too bright. so i toned it down with some white, which i then scraped over, and she’s done !
and now, on to a new one. i’ll update once i get into it. thanks my friends!
