kodo II, 24x28” oil & collage on linen, as she looked at the end of my painting day today
2:43 PM: this painting is certainly taking a long journey! from yesterday’s plaid shirted walking figure to today’s mikela with mirror…
i do like what happened today a lot more than where she was yesterday, but, that said, the journey is not over yet. we’ll see tomorrow how she evolves, and if mikela remains or serves as the ground for yet another trip. i do love the photo collage this version is inspired by, which i made at least a decade ago and probably more.
as i gaze at today’s version, there are some stellar moments, and i love how the plaid shirted good doctor figure come through. the green on the top right definitely helps the composition as a whole. but it definitely hasn’t yet POPPED!
