the last supper before (left) and after the revisions
2:01 PM: the last time i worked on the last supper was 5 months ago: august 23. since then i’ve been casting critical glances at it. i knew it needed work, but i wasn’t ready to jump in till a few hours ago. don’t ask why, but it definitely has to do with the direction my work has been taking since then, and what i’ve learned in the interim. i may do more tomorrow morning when i’m fresh. do you see the pup that entered the composition, and the fire in the fireplace? the title, by the way, derives from the fact that this dinner was, in fact, the last time that some of those present would find themselves together before most of them have eft crestone.
1/5/24 breakfast drawing/collage, 9x6”
12:05 PM: i started this one during breakfast and my zoom with my ukrainian buddy, and continued working on it till a few minutes ago.
it includes watercolor, colored pencil, oil stick (the green stripe on the bottom & the pink vertical mark just above & to the left of it) and collaged pieces of maps, an old paper oil palette & a cutout from a magazine. i flipped it all 4 ways and settled on this as the one i think works best.
