pine peak, 42x42” oil on linen, as she looked after starting to paint into her this afternoon
3:16 PM: after rubbing and scraping pine peak this morning, i began working back into it. i referred to an old photo of mikela with a mirror, which i’ve used before in a painting. it’s actually a photo collage, which i did a lot before computers came on the scene. i especially love, as i’ve shared before, when the underlying painting peaks through.

11:55 AM: just now i did the same thin with pine peak as i did earlier with still life with refugees; i rubbed & scraped it, so that it looks like this.
and now i’ll start working back into them, going back & forth between the two.
11:03 AM: i scraped and rubbed still life with refugees just now, then flipped it upside down, and here’s it’s current state.
10:43 AM: i discovered this late ‘80’s polaroid shot of mikela & i in my storage area yesterday. it was probably shot a few years after we met in mykonos in 1986.
