2:54 PM: after completing the modifications to u.s. open 2, i returned to jazz 15, an older painting i returned to yesterday after painting over the lower left portion of the composition, which wasn’t working. i sketched out a bird yesterday afternoon, and today fleshed it out, adding those magical black dots. right now, looking at it from about 20 feet, the newly added bird tends to take over the composition. so i may have to return to the skateboarders and bring them up to the level of intensity of the bird. i did do some work on one of the skateboarders; the one on the upper left. the guy on the far left is a remnant of the floor mosaic, which igreyed over. so is he no longer an important part of this composition? we’ll see tomorrow morning, when i’m fresh.
u.s.open 2 BEFORE and AFTER this mornings changes
11:38 AM: after studying u.s. open 2 for 3-4 days, i decided to take out the red/yellow part on the upper left, and add the grey outline of a skateboarder on the right.
