12:11 PM: i got an early start this morning, and was able to tweak the figure in the plaid shirt, who needed to pop more.
i accented his plaid shirt, added the shadow above his foot and gave his hand more flesh tones, as well as adding his gold wedding ring.
so i think i can declare this one RESOLVED! gazing at it next to gained vision II, this one is softer and more subtle in color. i love them equally and i’d like to see them hung about 4-5 feet apart in the right setting.
they also integrate well with the entire jazz series, consisting of 16 paintings.
6:50 AM: this is the cappucino i made for mikela this morning: home roasted yemeni beans, finely ground and placed in my moka pot, with organic soy milk frothed in my new breville frother, and served to her in her 1st floor office!
about to mediate; more when i get to the studio!
