sotiris spatharis, 11 1/4 x 7 1/4” watercolor on arches paper, day 1
3:26 PM: in the late ‘60’s in athens, i met the great karaghiozis shadow puppeteer, sotiris spatharis. he took me to his athens workshop and we chatted while he worked on creating new figures. i shot quite a few photos of him, and today i was overwhelmed with the desire to make a painting. it’s a watercolor, 11 1/4x 7 1/4”, which i’ll continue work on tomorrow.
