celebration XII 16x20” after removing the collage and restoring the shadow in the center of the composition
3:30 PM: i had collaged a cut-out from an art magazine over the shadow of the figure in the center of the composition. due to heavy snow, i wasn’t able to be in the studio yesterday, but just before leaving on sunday afternoon, i decided the collaged piece was superfluous and was ruining the composition. so i tore it off. with it came some of the grey shadow underneath. so this morning, i brought that shadow back to it’s old self, and that’s all i’m going to do on this one.
