jazz 14 as it looked at the end of my painting day today
2:46 PM: having completed jazz 13 yesterday, i dove right into jazz 14 this morning. the composition hasn’t fully formed, so what we can see are two figures and a detail of a thousand year old roman mosaic: the two eyes and the nose can be discerned to the right of the skating female figure. the almost texturless portrait linen is facilitating the kinds of brushwork yopu see in, for example, the skater’s violet dress, flying in the wind and with her swirling movements. tomorrow morning will be critical in this new painting’s development.
