Yesterday afternoon I made my final choices of the ten paintings for the Hopper House Art Center show in Nyack this June:
Green Here and There, 36" x 36"
Illumination, 36" x 36"
This morning I attempted a drawing in the style of the Improv paintings, although of course, I had to translate the method to fit this medium. It was an interesting experiment, though the result didn't have the impact of the paintings.
Drawing #26, 14" x 11"
Next, I continued work on Canvas #9, experimenting with colored lines radiating out from cadmium yellow, through the oranges, to red. Then I drew black circles, and that's all I can do on it today because these lines will have to dry first.
Canvas #9
Finally, I tackled Canvas #8, which I liked, but Adrian and Blixy thought was unfinished. I added some carefully selected feathered black lines, and that's really all I want to do to it. I like it this way.
Canvas #9, now "Apple of My Eye" 48" x 48"
(Note: There is a gap between the dates I'm writing and posting because I had to give myself time to get ahead in case we travel and I'm not able to post.)
