fear no more, 24x20” oil on portrait linen on day 1
1:38 PM: after cutting 3 more pieces of 24x20” portrait linen yesterday, i began a new series of 3 paintings titled fear no more. the early stage of this first in the series was inspired by photos i shot in an athenian museum. the visitors to the museum, as viewed from the balcony above, mingle with ancient marble statues of Godesses. i was gazing through a transparent surface with the black dotted patterning you see.
after doing my series of 3 dancing creek pieces, i felt myself longing for my views from above material, which i have a lot of. there’s something in that perspective that lights my fire.
i ran out of juice about 30 minutes ago, so i stopped here. to be continued tomorrow morning.
