celebration XII 16x20” following this morning’s whiteover & new composition
12:20 PM: while it was a fun experiment, yesterday’s C-B XII reclining woman was just that; an experiment. today i whited over it and, inspired by one of my photos from above of women playing basketball, began a new composition. as always, it benefits from theprevious paintings showing through. i simply did as matisse said; following where the painting wanted to go rather than imposing my will on it.
