3:15 PM: i’ve been working on this 12x10” portrait of a friend for the past 3 days. i may have resolved her today, when i added the red & green stripes, added another tree to the ones already there in wang meng’s 14th c. calligraphic piece & tweaked the figure.

12:28 PM: i made this tiny oil portrait of my grandson philip in 2007, when he was 15 months old.
