2:20 PM: i wasn’t happy with where i left celebration V on feb.18th, so i dove in, whited over, flipped it 360° and painted into the fresh paint; almost always a juicy move! in person your first impression, especially compared with the others in the series, is that old term technicolor. the underlying, faintly visible colors combine with the colors i just used on the over-painting, creating a warm blend of off white, pinks, greens & blues, with the yellow band of color across the top balancing the band of green i painted on the left. i may be about to make similar changes to the rest of the paintings in the series. i’ll know better in the morning.

KEEP IT FRESH, 32x38” oil on portrait linen, following today's tweaks
12:53 PM: i lightened the geometric forms on the lower right, creating more balance in the composition, and i signed and dated it.
