spinning place, 32x32” oil on canvas, as it looked following the work i just did. originally, it was a monotone piece, the exception being that triangular pink area in the center.
3:41 PM: i found another painting in my storage room that i felt needed work. it was originally a painting inspired by the studies of the creek i had been doing extensively about 10-15 years back.
i felt it had passages that were begging for some strong colors, so i launched in. the title: spinning place, as with windfall light, which i spoke of earlier, comes from fern hill, a poem by dylan thomas, who was a favorite when i was a teen.
12 noon: yesterday, in addition to the modifications i made to ano kato renewed 1, i worked on a 16x29”painting that had been whited over, which mikela found in my storage room last week. it has no date on the back. i began by making a drawing in dark brown oil, along with some faux chinese stamps in red crayon.
inspired by works by 14thc. chinese artist wang meng, it hints at a rocky landscape with trees and leaves the rest to you. it’s titled windfall light, a phrase i discovered in the dylan thomas poem fern hill.
