jazz 15, 35x37”/89x94cm. as it looked at the end of my painting day today
2:11 PM: when i couldn’t find my favorite artfix primed linen, i ordered a roll that thas a slightly rougher tooth until i could find the one i usually use. i wanted to try it out today, so i stopped work on jazz 14, which i started yesterday, and began work on the new jazz 15 to try out the canvas. while it doesn’t have the same extreme sensitivity as this one, it ain’t bad. so now i’m working on two simultaneously, which is always my ideal, and i’ll continue tomorrow morning.
the one i started today on the artfix L22 U universal primed linen, continues with yesterday’s inspiration: ancient roman mosaics. the figure on the left is working on restoring one. the skate boarding girl is a partner of the one i painted in jazz 14 yesterday. the color of her dress turned me on; painting the lighter rose and the deeper red shadows of the dress were, i dare say, orgasmic for me. the deliciousness of making the darker shadows of the dress, offset my the pink of her legs is what painting in oil is all about!
