kodo II as it looked at the end of my painting day today

1:17 PM: i continued work on vyd zverkhou 1 and kodo II today, going back and forth. i’m now able to get to work immediately, since i discovered that the breakfast i’d been having was eating up precious morning energy. so now i just nibble whenever the mood strikes. the key word in that last sentence is whenever., which is a cousin of WHATEVER. this is our new phrase, which i suppose could be short for not being attached to results and going with the process, whatever that looks like in the moment. thus far, it’s been very helpful here in the studio. there are other areas where we’re going to try it out at home.

so anyway, it’s useful to be doing a series of paintings all the same size: 24x28”. they’re small enough that i can tack the canvases to the wall next to one another and they sing together. so if one loses the harmony, i can go back to it and …..whatever.
