January 13, 2008 Day 269
I made this morning's drawing with calligraphy pens, beginning with black, then adding color. When I had too much color, I went back to gray and black:
Drawing #275 11" x 14"Next, I worked on Canvas #29, which I was fairly happy with as it was. The tops and bottoms had to be finished, though:
Canvas #29 24" x 24"I took another look at Canvas #28 and liked it a lot, but it still needed something to make it more cohesive. I drew thin black lines with paint, and that did the trick:
Canvas #28 30" x 30"
My sister Laura and her husband, Jim, arrived from Kansas City yesterday and are sleeping at their new house, though they don't expect to actually move in until the end of March. Unfortunately, there was water in the basement when they arrived, and now they are busy tearing up, cleaning out, and disinfecting. I drove over to see them this afternoon. It was great being able to visit my sister after only a 15 minute drive!
(Note: There is a gap between the dates I'm writing and posting in order to give me time to get ahead.)
