2:42 PM: a few moments ago, a small piece of paper was collaged to the right & just above the head of the large female figure carrying the red bag.

2:12 PM: so i just dealt with that red i mentioned earlier.
1pm: when i approached this painting this morning, i saw that a corner of one of the collaged pieces of paper had lifted slightly from the canvas. i could eith put more adhesive beneath it, or take my spatula and lift it off. i chose the latter, and a larger piece came off than i had anticipated, revealing and orane shape located in the upper portion of the walking woman with her red bag. it made a lot of sense, both coloristically and compositionally. it was one of those unpredictable events i so love. it’s now a critical part of the composiiton, which has been enlivened. who knew?
it still has a ways to go; right now, that red shape on the lower left is bugging me…
