I had a nice day.
Thom Asked if I had any tall and narrow paintings. I said, "no, but I will. What size?"
He replied "60 x 10 collectors often have a space between windows for such a size." I stretched 2 such canvases and played.

Some new strips
The two strips on the left measured 60x10 also and looked very good.

This was a surprise. The strips are not pasted yet. I use acrylic gel.
Here is the play/process for a 18x18 collage using an old photo of MM in Aruba.

I started this painting called Sirena at school. I think I finished it today, but it needs to ferment for a while.

This was a busy creative day. MM is in Paris and I must keep my hands busy. "Idle hands are the devil's workshop."
The color muting and space/form transitions, with your pointillist work, as in "Sirene," is most effective. This is a gem.
ReplyDeleteLove the new narrow paintings. THom will do wonders with these.
"Aruba #1" between stages 2 & 3 has an enticing perspective with landscape & suggested interior, lush florals, the figurative innuendo grace and all wrapped in pointillist stripe abstraction is a winner in every way. What more could anyone ask? Bravo!
