momoyama at 5pm today after wiping out my rework
5PM: i wiped out everything i did on this painting today, and now i think it’s even better without that white area on the right
3:45 PM: momoyama, 24x28” was ready for a rework, following some tentative moves 2 days ago, when i pretty much kept the original composition and color distribution.
today, before and just after a conference call regarding my april exhibition at gremillion on sunset in houston, i dove back in on all cylinders, eliminating both of the original loosely painted figures viewed from above and introducing the white architetural marks dividing the canvas up and forming little windows. while a shade of yellow continues to dominate, greens, deep reds and pinks have appeared , along with the now familiar striding, plaid shirted figure seen form above.
it’s now hanging adjacent to the 3 14x18” paintings i’ve been working on over the past few weeks, and they work well together. now that the exhibition is fast approaching, how the recent pieces work together is more of a preoccupation. i’m feeling like it will proove to ve a pretty cool show!
