celebration 21 32x36” oil & collage on portrait linen as she looked at the end of my painting day
2:31 PM: this morning i whited over the entire painting, with a diluted enough white to allow what i did yesterday to peek through. as you know if you follow my daily blog, i love this! it allows what i paint over it to vibrate in a way that would be impossible on a fresh white surface. i also collaged 2 pieces of paper with calligraphic brush marks, which i made this morning.
on a different note, this new roll of primed white portrait linen is not white! it’s got a yellowish tint. i thought of sending it back, but this slight tint to the suface is actually proving to be interesting, so i’m keeping it. but i do plan on letting the seller know.
so now, as is normal for me lately, the painting that existed at the end of the day yesterday is totally different. but i’ve reached the end of my painting energy for today, and i’ll pick up again tomorrow morning. tomorrow is trash pick up day, plus i need to run into town for a few things, so i probably won’t get into it till about noon, which is not unusual for me.
calligraphic brush marks made this morning, deigned to be cut up & collaged to this or a different painting.
