taiko 1, 32x36" oil & collage on portrait linen. this is day one of this new series.
3:37 PM: this morning i whited over celebration 28 and began a new painting titled taiko 1. it’s the frist day of a new series inspired by the taiko drummers performance we attended here in crestone a few years back.
i had intended to start the series with sketches and works on paper, possibly leading up to larger works in oil on linen. but after whiting over celebration 28, i was moved to launch into this new series. i did a search this morning and finally found the photos and video i shot at the event, which will serve as my source and guide for the paintings to follow.
