celebration 26, 36x36” oil & collage on portrait linen as she looked at 2pm, following some tweaks to yesterdays version
2:32 PM: i made some tweaks to the re-work of celebration 26. the blacks in the central area of the painting were too intense, and the blue leaf like shapes, also in the center, were a bit too big. i also made some improvements to the upper right area, adding leaf shapes which echo the ones on the left. part of my inspiration for the composition and colors is from a klee print i found, which i just can’t stop looking at!
