A Year of Making Art: Day 27

Yesterday afternoon I made my final choices of the ten paintings for the Hopper House Art Center show in Nyack this June:

  Agrarian Compass, 40" x 40"

  Always Forward, 36" x 36"

  Green Here and There, 36" x 36"

  Green Is Good, 40" x 40"

  Hope, 36" x 36"

  Illumination, 36" x 36"

  Life Cluster, 40" x 40"

  Pleasure Palace, 36" x 36"

  Tower of Song, 40" x 40"

  Triangle Pose, 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.)
