3:47 PM: it was pretty chilly this morning, at 50 F, but it’s climbed up to 78F now so the studio is still comfortable, unlike last week when i had to stop working about 1:30 because of the heat.
today i did a lot more to kosode, so it’s pretty far along but probably not there yet. i also continued my studio cleanup/organization, so i’m doing a little each day.
kosode has a lopt going on now, but in glancing at it from 20 ft. to get a read, there’s a pretty good balance in the composition as well as the distribution and intensity of colors. the plaid shirted walking figure anchors it. and the hint of creek water & rocks on the upper right, above the crouching figure, transport us to crestone/baca and the nearby creeks. i was concerned it might appear too busy; instead all that’s going on creates a visual richness.
kosode 38x20” / 96.5x51 cm. at the end of the day
