keep it fresh 32x38” , oil on portrait linen at the end of my painting day
1:59 PM : i took keep it fresh to the next levle this morning. on the top, the view out the window adds a cool dimension to the composition. the figures, some of which are partially painted over, let you know that this is not an abstract painting.
this extra fine primed portrait linen makes putting brush to canvas a delightful experience, and supports the painterly….as promised in the title, i’m keeping it fresh!
3:26 PM: as i gazed at the recently completed celebration V, it seemed to muddy. so, after working most of the day on keep it fresh, i went back in to it, using the same pink as in keeping it fresh. it’s looking better, but it’s not there yet. so tomorrow i’ll likely work on them both again & see if i can move towards resolution.
