celebration VI in the first phase of a re-work, which will continue tomorrow. BELOW, see how it looked before & after
2:33 PM: once i finished working on celebration II, i began a re-work of celebration VI, which i had never considered resolved but put aside on february 5th to work on something else. since i’m in that re-work space now, i grabbed it from off my wall and launched in.
celebration II, 14x18” as it looked moments ago
11:04 AM: i didn’t like the female figure, so i’m about to change it.
1:06 PM: so i ended up doing more than just tweaking the female figure, which has become a variation on the woman with the red shoulder bag hwo has appeared in many recent paintings.
i basically worked on the entire composition, making it a much tighter, more interesting painting. the greens play a greater role; the white band at the top is brighter and extends further to the right, as well as down the right side, and the jacket of the guy on the right with the checkered trousers has a more pronounced pink.
