gained vision IV 80x20” oil on linen, at the end of today
1:49 PM: i had considered these two paintings completed, but when i entered my studio i felt kosode was too busy. and when i brought the newly stretched gained vision IV didn’t work at all. that’s the value of bringing a newly completed painting over to the house. the big, open space with nothing else close by allows a much more definitive evaluation than when it’s in the studio, surrounded by other recent work.
