1:43 PM: so as i predicted, i just ran out of steam and am stopping for the day, in part due to my dental experience yesterday. the painting is at a transitional point & doesn’t yet hold together. but i do like what happened with the bird being surrounded by the grey of the tree trunk, as well as the upside down figure of the dancing boy in blue. tomorrow may be a turning point day.

12:20 PM: it was a rough day at the dentist yesterday. i was so numbed up that on the way home with mikela, i was unaware that i bit into my cheek while talking, so i have a pretty good wound there, which may take a week or so to heal.
today, after my usual futzing around & continuing cleanup after yesterdays olive oil spill onto the studio floor & table, i continued work on jazz 10. the bird is no longer the only act in town, and now has a background of a grey tree trunk & a few rose colored shapes. i’m continuing work till i run out of steam in a few hours.
